FYI: Replacement tips for Radio Shack soldering station at Sears

[bh]

Not having a blog, I'm posting my tip here.

I bought the radio shack soldering station since it was immediately
available and relatively cheap at $44 (w/ coupon). However, radio
shack doesn't carry an assortment of tips for that iron. Sears does.
The Craftsman "Soldering Iron Tip Set," "copper, nickel plated," with
"point, chisel, fine point" tips are exactly the same diameter and
length as the radio shack tip bundled with the soldering station.
Part # 9-54023; website lists for $2.99, listed in-store at $3.99.

What's the Radio Shack part number for the soldering station, and where
did you get the coupon?

Digital Soldering Station With Detachable Stand

$62.99
Model: 64-2185
Catalog #: 64-2185

Radio shack had a 30% discount coupon that ended last week (last last
week?). I believe it was available from the radio shack website.

The latest comment on the radio shack feedback page states that
replacement tips are available through the store. That's true, to the
extent that you can only order the exact same tip that is included
with the station initially, according to the store clerk I spoke with
about a week ago. I tried to submit the same info here on the radio
shack soldering station page, but it does not appear with the rest of
the comments.
