I bought this one (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130764325232?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) off eBay which came with 2 spare tips, one of which was a chisel tip. :thumbsup:

I use the sealey one, works great for me, quickly gets hot enough to solder fat motor wires.

First tip lasted about a year, just changed to the spare one (mine came with two chisel tips and a pointy tip).
