Check slip-on tips and active cartridges
Look at the installed handpiece before comparing the shape of the tip. A Weller LT A and a Hakko T15-DL32 both have chisel working ends. The LT A is a slip-on tip for a documented LT pencil. The T15-DL32 is an active cartridge for a documented T15 handle.
Within an active family, read the complete part number. Weller gives the standard RTM 036 S and the MS variant the same nominal working dimensions. The handle documentation determines which cartridge belongs in the pencil.
For nano tools, check the tool after a station upgrade. JBC documents separate C105 and C115 families. If the station name is unchanged but the tools were replaced, the current handle matters more than the name on the control unit.
