This brass sponge is super glam and super useful. Preferred by many soldering pros for cleaning off the tips of their soldering irons, it never needs wetting, won't cool down the tip, and is slightly abrasive to remove caked-on flux. This model is made by Hakko so you know it's not only good-looking but a pleasure to use.
