This company is making life easier for everyone in terms of
soldering needs. Not only do they have a large selection of high quality
soldering stations, but they also offer a myriad of tips to suit any soldering job.
Easy Braid Company’s soldering tips are special because they
can be cross referenced to other brands’ tips such as Metcal, Hakko, and
Weller, and they even have an improved quality compared to their competitors.
The EBM Series of tips from Easy Braid has specified Power Plus tips, meaning they show increased performance without increasing
temperature, which then leads to faster soldering overall. This is partially
due to the tips’ gold plated ends which improves connectivity to the soldering
station and optimizes power transition. The tips also have thicker, denser
plating so they last longer than comparable ones.
One would think that all these benefits and improvements in
the product line would lead to higher prices, but surprisingly they do not.
Easy Braid Company is still beating the prices of their competitors by a
considerable margin despite providing a higher quality product. See below for a
side by side comparison.
