In this video, I am finally replacing my old reliable soldering station, and replacing it with a modern Hakko FX-951. So far, this has been a great soldering station. it has all the features needed for working with modern boards, and lead free solders. In a few week, I will do a follow-up review after I get some time with it.

What's going to be the standard size/shape tip for general use? The FX951 on Amazon that comes with one tip uses a D16, but the bundle that comes with 5 tips comes with D08, D12, D24, D32 and D52. I believe I read that the FX888D uses a D16 by default.
I think my old workplace used a D24 for soldering 22AWG stranded wire together but I can't really remember if it was that big, or if it just looked that big while tinned. Or would you even recommend going up to a D32?
Which two or three chisel tips would you recommend? I was thinking the D12, D16, and D24. I'll probably only play around with computer keyboard PCBs, RC cars, and electric guitar wiring. Do you think a D08 is too small? Thanks!
I use the D16 often. But I also use a small curved tip on fine work.
