A new cap kit designed for the FX-600 and FX-601 soldering irons. This protective cap is easy to install and take apart. Once installed, you simply unscrew the cap to expose the soldering iron tip for use. When you are finished soldering, unplug the soldering iron and screw the cap back on. The heat resistant plastic prevents the tip from contacting and melting other tools or power cords in your toolbox when you put it away. It also helps reduce the risk of injury from accidentally touching the soldering iron tip when it is cooling down after use.
