Abstract
A soldering tip has a sleeve (10) with an insert (14) therein, both formed of good heat conducting material. An annular passage between the sleeve (10) and the insert (14) enables travel of solder therein by capilliary action when heat is applied to the tip and the latter contacts solder. The insert (14) is movable outwardly of the sleeve (10) to discharge solder in the annular passage from the tip.
