    Hello everyone. I have one thing for you, maybe a silly question. I didn't find the right answer.
    I would like to buy gold or black 900 series caves and now which ones are better? Black or gold. Does it look the same.
    Additional question: what tips do you use besides the standard one in the set? What do you recommend - for various activities - for the beginner. Such a basic set ;)

    Thank you ;)

    Each tip has a different use, so there are no tips for beginners :D There are only caves for more difficult and easier activities :P
    To start with, I recommend you buy a tapered and scalpel. I have been parting with the scalpel for 9-10 years, it's best to solder on it. It is suitable for soldering many things, very neutral tip :D

    I feel like a grip :D For aesthetic reasons I would take gold-plated. is there a significant price difference?

    900M-TK is the aforementioned "scalpel" ;)

    1. And which is this "mini wave"?
    2. The slight difference - from 2 to 4 zlotys on the grotto ;)
    3. And what can you use the so-called chisel - seems solid and large? :)

    1. A minifall is probably all "C" types, ie T-3C, T-4C etc.
    The minifala has a hollow at the end, a "container" for tin.

    2. Rather, there is no difference between black / gold. It is important that the tip is always whitewashed and not scraped too much on the surface. Probably the only thing you pay extra for the look :D So whether you buy gold or black depends on you. There is no difference, only price.

    3. The chisel is similar to a cone with the difference that it has a cut flat tip. You must try each cave and choose which one you work best with. ;)

    Black caves are the best.
