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.

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.

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

Does the job just fine

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.

We have become big fans of Weller lover the years. The company really does know how to make a good/dependable iron. This one is no different. It is well-built and sturdy and keeps the iron safe when resting in the base. Everything looks nice, feels right, and performs perfectly. The only thing we wishes is that we had some form of readout for temperature. It's fine as it doesn't take long to get a feel for where you like to be on the dial, but it does help to have a more accurate understanding of how hot it is. Again though, you learn to live with it. We can see this unit lasting quite a long time, despite likely being used around 2-3 times a week here. **If you have found our review helpful, please vote it as helpful below so we know.

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.
