content: I have only used OEM for my Hakko 936 and FX-951. It just doesn't seem worth it to try fakes. Way too many posts on the pitfalls of fake tips. There have been the rare posts about fakes working OK but the negatives far outweigh the positives. Save the aggravation and buy OEM. Find a real distributor on the Hakko website that will give the best price for shipping.

content: I don't solder that often, but if I need an "odd" tip shape or size, then I will knowingly buy a fake Hakko tip for usually around $1 + free shipping. So far, the fake tips are lasting for the very few times I use them.In Canada, a real Hakko tip can cost > $15 CDN.
