Hit 1000 hours on my Hakko FX-888D soldering station and the tip is still original.

I logged it all in a spreadsheet, and honestly expected to have swapped it out at least twice by now, so what's the most hours you've gotten from a single soldering iron tip before it was truly shot?

Used to think tips wore out fast, but your post changed my mind.
