Contents and compatibility Includes one TS101 tip, one TS100 soldering iron tip, and eight melt nut penetrators. Designed for use with compatible soldering irons that accept TS101 and TS100 series tips. Why you need this set Simplifies installing melt nuts and threaded inserts into plastic parts without drilling or adhesives. Speeds up assembly and tasks by combining reliable heat transfer with a stable indenter design, reducing the risk of cracked or deformed plastic. Provides a small, portable kit for field repairs, prototyping, or workshop jobs. Key benefits and features Easy component removal and replacement: internal thread split head design lets you remove and the tip components effortlessly once the tool has cooled. Efficient thermal performance: brass construction delivers strong heat conduction so melt nuts integrate cleanly into a variety of plastic materials. Stable penetration: the indenter maintains alignment during operation to reach the desired penetration depth while minimizing damage to surrounding plastic. Readytouse kit: includes both TS101 and TS100 tip options for compatibility and eight melt nut penetrators to handle multiple installations. How it solves common problems Prevents oversizing and cracking: controlled heat transfer and stable penetration reduce the force and time needed, limiting stress on plastic parts. Reduces repeat work: consistent thermal performance produces predictable melt channels so inserts seat correctly on the first try. Speeds up repairs and builds: having both tip types and multiple penetrators in one set avoids interruptions to swap incompatible tools. Typical applications Electronics enclosures: install threaded inserts in ABS or polycarbonate housings for durable screw mounting. Hobby and model work: attach melt nuts to RC models, drones, and plastic scale parts where secure, repeatable threads are needed. Automotive and appliance trim: or retrofit interior panels and trim pieces with reliable threaded attachment points. Materials and performance Brass construction for fast and even heat conduction. Designed to work with standard TS100/TS101 tipcompatible soldering irons; use only when components are cool to remove or . What to expect in use Predictable penetration depth with reduced plastic damage. Faster, neater installation of melt nuts compared with manual methods. Simple maintenance: allow the tool to cool before removing or swapping the splithead components.
