Had a cheap Chinese iron that was supposedly 60 watts and it was hard to solder even smaller connections and cooled down quick making me wait 1 to 2 mins between soldering. This iron is very nice it heats up super quick and stays hot even when soldering bigger 10 gauge connections for RC car motors. I knew having a better iron would be nice but I can't believe I even used my cheapy POS iron now that I have this one. Makes a huge difference in the finish of the joint.

Worked only one time. That was it. I thought it was a loose connection in the soldering iron tried to repair it. You can forget about repairing anything. A total waste of money. When I PLUGGED it in, it got real hot. The handle was even hot to the touch, so I had to put gloves on to continue soldering. Should have known there was something wrong. This is the second time I got bad products when I buy equipment like this. Better to buy from local stores. To insure quality.

Weller Soldering Iron is made of quality material and is easy to use. Pros: LED lights add to the accuracy of your work. 80 watts are more than sufficient for most applications. Con: Important to use heat sinks to prevent heat damage to other components you are working on.

I have been using these in an industrial setting for more than 25 years. There are probably 6 in use every day. Some of them stay plugged in all day every day. They used to last for years but in the last few years the quality of the heating element has gone down. I never used to send them back under warranty because they lasted so long or my guys abused them and caused them to fail. Now sometimes I have had some fail on the first day with absolutely no abuse. Some still last for a few months and others last a few weeks. I have been sending them back to Weller and telling them about the quality issue. They have always sent replacements and one time even sent an extra one for my troubles. About two weeks ago they sent a message back saying the failure was not under warranty but would send a replacement for $15.00. There was no explanation of why it was not under warranty. Even though they are relatively inexpensive, the cost of shipping them back under warranty is adding to the cost. I tried more expensive brands of higher quality but the workers did not like them because of the weight. Hopefully the quality will improve to the level it was previously. In the meantime I will keep buying and sending back under warranty unless I get the letter back saying it is not under warranty. With the $15 replacement and cost of shipping Read full review
