Weller 5 to 30W Precision Grip Soldering Iron Station, 120V | WLSK3012A

Probably the best soldering iron I've ever used. I hope I have more reasons to use it!

When using a cheaper model by the same manufacturer, I was worried that I'd burn myself or my surroundings because there wasn't a solid place to rest the soldering iron. The built-in rest is perfect for holding this safely out of the way. It also has more adjustability and a nice spot to rub the solder off.

Where do I buy replacement sponges and why is the mount made of plastic? If you’re trying to work fast and not look, you will not end up mounting the iron and will just melt the mount. After 2 uses the coating on the tip of the iron started burning and peeling off into my solder, creating extremely bad cold joints.Also the bulk on the end of the handle by the iron gets hot enough to burn thin skin. Otherwise it gets hot enough

This Weller soldering iron heats up fast. I have used it to solder components onto a circuit and it works great. Very good quality materials. With the price.

I bought the 30 watt version to replace my 40 watt unit that I have had for many years. I do mostly pc work so I don't need a lot of heat. It is very difficult to find tips for this iron, on the ones available are a bit large. Secondly, the holder for the iron is made of out plastic, and it is not heat resistant. if you place the iron in the holder and it slips even a little bit, the hot iron touches the plastic and it starts to melt. It is not apparent when this happens until it starts to smoke and then it is too late. Very toxic smelling smoke. Very dissapointed.

Does the job just fine

What's good: It heats up reasonably quickly. It seems to have a decent range of temperature. I like the stand pretty well. What's bad: This uses a weird size of replacement tips, WLIR30. You can only get them in a few styles, and NONE smaller than 4mm. I'd really like to try something like a 2mm chisel tip, but you literally cannot buy anything that small for this. Not from Weller, not from anybody else. If I had realized that, I would have bought something else.

This soldering iron worked perfectly for 2 weeks. I then went on a 2 week vacation. When i returned and started to use this soldering iron it would not get hot enough to melt the solder. The return window was 30 days. AT 36 days when i tried to request a refund i was unable to do so. I did contact customer service and have not had a reply re refund. Since it won't melt solder, it is useless to make electrical connections. I will be throwing it away Addendum: It was not possible to directly request a refund or a return on the amazon website. My poor initial reviews did result in the manufacture starting a warranty claim, which they processed and sent me a new soldering iron. This company stands behind their product.

La perilla te permite elegir distintas intensidades de potencia, lo que ayuda al momento de soldar partes pequeñas en electrónica, su base y cables, los hace aptos para lugares pequeños. La marca es reconocida por su calidad, esta vez, no es la excepción.

useless with a 110VAC power supply

la base en si, es un regulador de potencia. bastante util porque podrias conectar otra cosa. el cautin pues es weller ya habla por si mismo.

Todo muy bien, la entrega en tiempo y forma. Respecto del cautin, pues la base se siente que es de plástico ligero, pero viniendo de Weller yo creo que le durará. Estoy contento con la compra va precio

Lo compre y me llego usado , incompleto.
