X2 on the chisel tip. I was using this new silver based non lead solder - i couldn't solder ANYTHING. Went to 62/38 and a chisel tip - I feel like a pro and have been doing it for years. That pencil tip is junk - throw it out. Bought an actual SAKO tip (about $5 more than the import fake one), and also Flux - I just stated using it - wha a difference on the wires!
