Weller is terrible. By putting out this product, they are destroying their company reputation. Ive purchased 3 of this particular model in the last year and all died within a few months. They power on, the ring light comes on but there is no heat. I tried to contact their customer "service" on their website and they will not respond. There is no phone number on their website to call. My advice AVOID Weller. They are not the same company they used to be.

Works awesome. Gets very hot. If you are thinking of buying a soilding iron stay away from the cheap china ones and buy a good brandname one. It is only a few more bucks. You will be back to buy a good one any way save your self the time . Trust me

This is a fantastic iron FOR THE MONEY, a steal for under $20. Most soldering stations with replaceable tips have rather small tips, while they have precise temperature control and a fast heat-up time, they are too small for large connectors. See an image comparing it to a T12 iron tip. This iron fills that gap if you need to solder heat sinks, connectors, larger wires or copper plates. It heats up in about 2-3 minutes and remains hot (as you can solder with that) for over a minute after unplugging. I measured the power to be 74 Watts.There's no temperature control and the iron overheats for tin-based solders. The high temperature will also deteriorate the copper tip. If you want to use it for more than a couple of times, you will want to add some type of power controller, as dimmer, or simply a diode in series. I recently had a wall dimmer breaking (plastic in the switch cracked) and I repurposed the dimmer circuit for controlling the power to this iron. I put everything in a small plastic box, added a plug and this contraption works great. A diode in series with a switch to short-circuit the diode will work reasonably well too.The AC wire insulation is not silicone and will melt if touched by the iron. The good thing is that the wire is relatively thin, but it could have been more flexible.Overall it's a comfortable iron, the handle does not get hot, the LEDs are not that useful in a reasonably well illuminated are, but don't hurt. Great value!

Está buena la construcción del cautin.No me sirvió porque calienta demasiado y quema la soldadura 60 estaño 40 plomo.:( probaré un cautin que regule temperatura.

Il trouve rapidement sa chaleur, les faisceaux lumineux sont pratiques pour indiquer qu'il est branché et pour réaliser la tâche, il se tient bien (bien balancé), l'embout semble solide pour une bonne période, mais il chauffe trop pour réaliser du vitrail efficacement.

I'm not great at soldering first off but I can get it done. This iron holds heat very well, pulls 80-85 watts on startup. And heats up quickly considering the size of tip I use for 1/0 OFC wire. I will happily recommend this product. Honestly surprised it didn't cost more!

Ordered a high wattage version of the same low priced soldering irons I have been using for years because I was soldiering to thick copper heatsinks and needed some serious heat to make a solder joint quickly enough to not melt the components. It does work. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, get hot, stay hot. I did take one star off because it is just so unwieldy. The tips are the size of the fat pencils they give you in kindergarten. After this I ordered a soldering station capable of supplying this kind of heat when I need it through a tip small enough I can put it where I want it. If you're going to buy this and then buy a smaller iron for smaller jobs you're already half way to the price of a good soldering station, save money and frustration over the long haul and invest in one.

First one went belly up after 2 uses, but they replaced it super quick -no hassle. Second one works really great (used a lot). No way to control the temperature on the unit itself, so you’ll need to plug it into a regulator of some sort. The heat will spike and ebb, but it’s easy to get used to the flow of how it heats. I haven’t had any issues. It gets hot enough the easily melt lead came if you’re not incredibly careful but works wonderfully for copper foil work. I’ll eventually upgrade but for a novice stained glass artist it does the job.

This soldering iron seems to be quite good. It gets very hot, is easy to hold, and the tip seems to be pretty good quality. Of course the test will be how long it will hold up, and I have not had it very long.

I bought that Hakko blue and yellow cool looking soldering with a digital regulator etc etc. Long story short its max heat is 899 so I set it to that, and it couldn't even handle Amazon basics 16 gauge speaker wire. It was just terrible, the solder was dry no matter how long I held it there and all. So It's safe to say I think that one is for super light work like hobby toys.I ordered this Weller, and I like it. The cord is soft and flexible, the iron its self is not that larger fits well in the hand and I use to for thicker wires. Its not being used for commercial work, just home use. The tip is rather wire pick up a wood 2B pencil, well its about that thick. Other than that for teh price and for using it once in a while, I can't complain. The LED's are cool too, great for working in darker areas.

I purchased this solder iron for re soldering the ground connections on guitar tube amps. It takes a lot of heat to do that. This iron does a great job. The photos and description of this iron does seem to be confusing though. It doesn't say what type of tip comes with it, but shows two different tips (a pointed tip and a large chiseled tip). When I purchased it, it came with the large chiseled tip. That combined with the 900 degree heat works great for heating large surfaces. The chiseled tip would not work well for soldering small wires. You would be better off with the soldering station for that since the temperature is easier to control. But for heavy duty soldering and the low price, this is a good buy.
