What is the difference between Hakko T12 and T15?
T15 tips seem to just be T12 tips but for the North American market. Other markets have T12 tips. The output voltage is the same, and there is a large amount of anecdotal evidence that seems to suggest there is no meaningful difference between them and you can use either T15 or T12 tips with the correct iron.

Are T12 and T15 tips interchangeable?
A few people suggest that they are the same. But the main difference appears to be the tip selection which could be why they had to separate the different tips into different markets.

At this price, the 951 is my number one recommendation for a soldering iron, period. More money will not get you a significantly better tool. It’s a true gem.
