Fixing a soldering tool

Is


there any way to get my soldering tool to meet at the point again? My attempts have made it worse! The tip is just not meeting.

Yes, you can absolutely correct the fit of the cross locks. Here are a few quick pics.

  • Make a bend beyond the area you want to correct on both sides using serrated pliers.
  • Hold the pliers off the edge of an anvil and strike the new bend down using a mallet.

You may need to make a couple of corrections, but it should only take a couple of minutes.
