Chisel tips are good for general-purpose work and have a tapered edge that can fit between most components, allowing them to be used for a variety of soldering jobs. The flat tip on the chisel helps facilitate heat transfer by allowing a larger area of the iron to be in contact pins and pads. Conical tips (also called pencil tips) are typically used for more delicate components or parts that are hard to reach.
