Hi Ray Bronk,

It is 2 inches from the rubber grip to tip. This solder station is awsome. The melting point is fast and it is adjustable in degree and it let you know when the tip is ready to use by beeping. Good luck.

Hey Tan, Thanks for the info. Yep, that's the one for me.

If you have funds, I'd highly recommend Weller soldering stations. There are some in $100-150 dollars range with adjustable temperature range. I think WES51 is the most used station around.

Personally, I use Solomon soldering station. Cost me around $80-90 a few years ago. Works great, pretty much as good as Weller stations. Don't remember exact model #, but my station has analog readout - similar to SL-30 station, but SL-30 has digital readout.
