Does anyone know what this tool is called, and more importantly: where can I get a new one?
It’s a simple yet super useful tool for poking around while soldering things. Made out of some high-heat plastic, not sure what kind.
It says “Harris - Dracon Division” and “Camarillo, California” on it, but nothing else.

in reply to Kadin • •Something like ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Probe-a… ?
I think any shops that sells electronics bothering¹ tools such as soldering stations and accessories would have something like that
¹ ok, I don't think this is how they are called / a term they can be searched with :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •Sort of. I have a set like that (well, mine are the cheap Harbor Freight variety, but similar) and they're quite handy—I was using them on the same project actually—but none have quite the same shape as the orange Harris tool (which I am now told is a "telecom spudger").
It would probably be quite possible to bend and/or grind a similar shape into a piece of metal or wood, if someone was so inclined, though.
