Yup! The included chisel tip worked fine for what I needed

Truth be told, I'm also almost as glad to have an iron with
a real switch (i.e. not the one on the power strip!) as I
am to have a temp controlled one. I've lived with my old
30W Weller for far too long; I had almost forgotten what it
was like to have a nice iron, since I never come into the
office at work anymore.

I agree, in general. I've been quite happy
with my Hakko
(recommended by Gene, bought for my birthday by my wife),
Did you get the FX-888? I'm VERY pleased with mine.
