Soldering iron tip - Weller PL style

[gardner]

My backup soldering iron is an old Tandy/Radio Shack job.  It needs a new tip.  It looks like a Weller SL325 and AFAICT it takes a PL style tip -- seems to be 1/4 inch x 28 TPI thread, or something close.  I think a PL series tip will fit.  Astonishingly, these seem to be like hen's teeth.  I expected to find a pack of 5 assorted styles for $10 on Amazon, but instead they start at almost $20 for a single tip.

Is there a cheaper source out there that could get me one in Canada?  At $20, I think I will just ditch the whole iron and pick up one that fits a more readily available tip.  Seems like a shame though.

The major distributors are selling the PL111 for $7.70 USD:

Perhaps you can add some other items to the order to defray the cost of shipping.

I don't know what's available in Canada, but check your local hardware chains for those tips.

Or perhaps the US chain will mail to Canada?

Good call.  Mouser will sell me a PL113 for C$10 -- I will add it to my next order.

I live in a town of over 1M people and there is only one electronics retailer.  He's got none.  HD carries them in the US, but not here AFAICT.  It seems they should be easier to find.
