Works fine at a reasonable price with a food assortment.
They work well enough and the price was fine. As always, make sure you press the fittings in nice and square and these will do a good job helping align the inserts. Nice variety of sizes helps!

worked great!
These babies work really well. A whole new experience over using just my old soldering iron to set inserts. Great product.

Works with some modifications…
I bought these to use with an Aipudi digital iron I purchase on Amazon. The tips fit, but there was about 1-2mm of front and back play once I secured the iron’s cover. I fixed this by cutting small slugs from a 5/32” brass rod. I then inserted the slugs inside the tips and everything works fine.***EDIT***I have have M2, M3, M4, M5 & M6 nuts. This kit includes tips to insert M2, M2.5, M3, M4 & M5 nuts. All the tips fit their intended nuts…. EXCEPT the M5!!! It’s slightly oversized and doesn’t fully seat inside the M5 nut. I can use it with the M6 nuts but it has a little bit of wiggle room. I’ve been using the M4 tip to insert M4 and M5 nut. The M4 tip fits the M5 nut with a little wiggle room as well.

Quality heat-set insert tips that fit my X-Tronic Model #3020
I'm new to heat-set inserts but I have a project that needed them so I did some looking around for them. Eventually realized that they would need to fit my random Chinese soldering iron that I also purchased from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079VVHPPSI read through the customer questions and the seller has responded to every question so that was a good sign right off the bat. But in one of the questions, the seller listed the dimensions of the insert tips so I took my digital calipers and measured my soldering iron and it seemed to fit the dimensions of the tips so I bit the bullet and bought these not knowing for sure if they'd work or not.While they do fit my soldering iron, there's about 2-5mm of play where it jiggles in and out. The hole in the tips for the heat element just barely isn't deep enough. That's not a problem with the tips of course, that's just my random Chinese soldering iron. I completed that project I had in just a few minutes with these whereas if I were to just wing it with a regular soldering tip I could've made a mess and possibly ruined my 3d printed part that took 36 hours to print and have to start over again. So I'm really glad I snagged these.Like I said I'm new to heat-set inserts so I'm no professional, but I can tell that these are the best you're gonna get as far as quality, durability, and ease of use goes with heat-set insert tips. Plus seller communication is top notch to boot so if there were any issues, I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to work something out.If you're looking for heat-set inserts for these particular sizes and you have one of the listed soldering irons or even the one I have, I recommend you go ahead and grab them.

Work Great
I used these to press some heat-set inserts into some wheel hubs I designed for an RC project I have been working on. In the several hubs I have pressed, I have never had issue with these tips. They work perfectly and are well worth the money to me.
