These are avai- lable in temperature ratings of 260C, 316C, 370C, 425C and 480C. The tips are made of pure copper for effective heat conductivity. The heating element has an optimal heating effect on the tip. This is possible through high precision of the tubes, the winding and insulation, which means that the heating element should never be gripped with pliers or be hammered in any way.
