Great for very quickly setting inserts. Normal tips work but take a little longer to heat up inserts since it has little surface contact.Fits my Pinecil as it uses ts-100/101 series tips and similar.Also the fittings inserts helps with angling inserts for specific applications.Over all a good addition to the drawer’o’soldering goods

Got this for my Pinecil V2. I'm good at wrangling brass inserts with the standard tip, but I wanted to see if this would improve things for me.Not really.They're good quality for what they are, and my friends who are somehow uncoordinated with heat-set inserts have a much better time when using this. My mind doesn't comprehend it, because you can use the cone to change the angle on the fly, while these seem like they require more finesse because you have to be perfectly perpendicular to your piece.I still give it high marks because despite not improving my experience, it doesn't make it worse. Glad to have another tool in the box, and I don't discount I will find a niche where this shines.

Works perfectly fine. I have the CNC Kitchen heatset insert tool as well and it seems to heat up just as quick as this. My only complaint is that I wish the bits were labeled. As-is, you can't figure out what size insert goes on what tip.

This heats really well, fits the soldering iron perfectly. It's a well-organized kit with every tip I have wanted and a bunch I haven't needed yet. Tons of different thread sizes. This is a great way to put threads into printed parts for secure assembly. Definitely better performance than I expected in a $15 set!

The tips are really easy to use, and they did the job great!The only thing I'm less satisfied about is that the sizes aren't really labeled. I would like to see a label that says "M4" next to the M4 tip and stuff. It doesn't need to be fancy. It can just be a sticker on the lid or something.But it's easy enough to label that yourself after the fact, either with a label printer or just paper and tape, so not a major ding.

So any issues I have with this are my own. Insetting the bolts into a 3d print takes a little practice and fine tuning. You need to get them seated squarely, you can't have the heat too high, nor press too hard. Once you figure all that out, the product is great. Practice on old failed prints to get the method down.

This Quicko heat set insert tool works way better than just trying to press brass inserts in with a regular soldering tip. The different sizes (M2–M8) are super convenient, and the tips fit perfectly on my Pinecil. Heats up fast and gives you way more control—less risk of melting your 3D prints into goo. Threads go in clean, straight, and tight. It’s honestly a must-have if you do any kind of functional 3D printing with inserts. Just make sure you line everything up before pressing down—these tips don’t forgive sloppy technique.

This heat set insert tool is perfect for what it is meant for. It's got a number of useful tips AND connectors to make sure its compatible with a wide variety of soldering tools. Mine in particular used the partial connector, fitting perfectly. When I used it, it heated up nicely and evenly and pushed the insert through the PLA like butter.I've also provided as many measurement pics as I could so you can ensure it fits on your own soldering tool. Overall the tools are of solid build and totally worth the money.
