Aoyue 128 Electric Solder Tip Cleaner for Effective Cleaning and Polishing
Brand: Aoyue
VAT included (Ex VAT: 43.70 €)
The Aoyue 128 Electric Solder Tip Cleaner is an essential tool for any professional or hobby soldering workshop looking to keep soldering tips in optimum condition. This device makes it easy to clean and polish tips, helping to prevent premature wear caused by oxidation and the use of damp sponges during the soldering process.
During lead-free soldering, soldering tips oxidise quickly due to the high temperatures, which can reduce their performance. In addition, using damp sponges to clean tips can cause cracks in the surface due to rapid cooling, exposing the copper core and reducing the tip's service life. The Aoyue 128 electric cleaner helps minimise this damage with a rotating bronze brush that effectively removes residue and oxidation.
This model includes 12 holes for storing soldering tips, making organisation and quick access easier during work. The removable aluminium tray allows for easy cleaning and features a magnetic system that secures it to the device.

Customer Questions & Answers
What are the main materials of the device, and what is included in the box when you buy it?
The housing is made of hard plastic, the brush is bronze (85%) and steel (15%), and the waste tray is aluminium. The box includes the Aoyue 128 polisher, its magnetic tray and the 1.45 m power cable.
What voltage range does the polisher work with, and is it compatible with European and American plugs?
It works with a 100-240 V AC input (1.5 A), suitable for both European and American plugs. It automatically adapts to the input voltage, but we recommend checking that the plug on the cable is physically compatible with your local socket.
Does the Aoyue 128 require any special maintenance, and how long is the bronze brush expected to last before replacement?
Maintenance consists of emptying the waste tray regularly and making sure it is refitted correctly. Brush life depends on use, but with typical applications it can last several months; there is no exact figure, as it will depend on cleaning frequency and the pressure applied.
Is there any risk of the polisher damaging soldering tips, and what precautions are recommended to avoid this?
The polisher is designed to remove residue without damaging the surface or coating of tips if used correctly. It is important not to apply excessive force and to limit polishing time to avoid premature wear of the surface tinning.
What advantages does the Aoyue 128 electric tip cleaner offer over traditional cleaning with a damp sponge?
The Aoyue 128 prevents sudden cooling and the formation of cracks in soldering iron tips by removing residue with a brass brush. This extends the life of the tips and maintains better soldering performance, something that is not possible with a damp sponge due to the thermal stress it creates.
What is the Aoyue 128 electric solder tip cleaner used for?
It is used to clean and polish soldering tips, removing residue and oxidation to extend their service life and improve soldering quality.
How do you clean the tray of the cleaner?
The aluminium tray is removable and should be emptied after each use. It is easy to put back thanks to its magnetic system.
Is it compatible with all soldering tips?
The Aoyue 128 is compatible with most standard soldering tips used in professional soldering stations.
Is it recommended to tin the tips after using the cleaner?
Yes, it is recommended to tin the tips after cleaning and polishing to maintain performance and prevent oxidation.
What materials make up the cleaner's brush?
The brush is made up of 85% bronze and 15% steel, ensuring effective and long-lasting cleaning.
