Hakko 926 solder station tips
I picked up a Hakko 926 solder station with the soldering iron for $7 at a garage sale. It came with a flat tip (kinda looks like a flat headed screwdriver (sort of like this http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Pla ... Pn1g%3d%3d). What I want to know is what other types of soldering iron tips should I get? I will mostly be doing hobby electronics and just about all through hole components.

For most through-hole work a standard chisel tip (like the one you've got) is all you really need.
A thick conical (not needle-point!) also works well however, and may be more suitable in tight places. A narrower chisel would also work though.

Thank you. I might just pickup the thick conical like you said for tight areas.
