Title: Great for stained glass work.
Review: This makes soldering at high temperatures easy, temperature remains constant and the iron is weighted well. Used for stained glass work.

Title: Dangerous
Review: This soldering iron has no temperature control and dramatically overheats making it practically unusable. I am expecting it to burst into flames or stop working any second.. The design is poor making it very difficult to lay down safely whilst it heats up. It comes with a small piece of poor quality sheet metal which you are expected to bend into shape to provide a stand. It is not sturdy enough to hold the soldering iron safely. As others have said I would not trust it in a coiled spring holder because the handle gets so hot. This item fits under the category “Buy cheap, Buy twiceâ€. Absolute rubbish and a definite safety hazard.

Title: Weller soldering iron.
Review: Powerful enough for most electronics tasks. Useful light illuminates the work. The first one only lasted one session. Amazon replaced without quibble. It may be that a thermostat would improve this product’s reliability.

Title: Decent unit
Review: I bought this to replace an older weller model, it works fine but look after the tips on all weller models as they are expensive to replace

Title: One to avoid
Review: I’m not sure of the intended use for this soldering iron but if soldering electrical wire is what you need to then this falls short of being useful.The badly flickering led was bad enough but this was totally incapable of getting up to temperature for most soldering jobs. I had to use a blow torch on it just to get it hot enough to melt solder.Gone straight into the bin unfortunately, I would probably avoid this brand all together in the future based on this experience.

Title: Great while it lasted
Review: I was fed up with having cheap soldering irons that packed up in less than a year so I figured splashing out on something of a higher quality would work out more economical in the long run. Nope, not this time.This soldering iron would in theory be great were it not for the fact it burns out so quickly – in less than a day or 2 the tip had gone south and become a complete mess. Having a narrower tip shaft means that common replacements are not easily available. It’s not like I left it on overnight either, given the price of electricity right now I’m very careful to switch things off if not in use. I wondered if something in the flux was causing such rapid erosion, but the same solder has worked perfectly fine with other irons.The plus side is it heats up quickly & is comfortable to hold. Sits nicely in its stand too so no nasty accidental burns from having an unstable 400 degrees of hot iron slipping around the bench. Can’t say the ring of LED’s bring much to the party – more of a gimmick but maybe useful if you’re doing repairs in total darkness.I did try another 60w Webber iron I got elsewhere and that shorted out within a day (tripping my house’s RCD in the process) – got a replacement from the retailer and that died within 3 days.All in all I’d say Webber irons are pretty much pants. I’ve gone back to buying cheapie irons knowing they’ll last less than a year, but at least they last longer than a week.

Review: Gerät kann ich noch nicht beurteilen, es macht einen guten ersten Eindruck. ABER: Die Ausführung des Steckers ist für UK und passt nicht ohne Adapter in eine Steckdose deutscher Bauart. Dies ging für mich nicht aus der Produktbeschreibung hervor.

Review: Positive1. Heated quicklyNegative1. The Halo Ring (LED light) is of low power LED strobes not conducive to good lighting.2. Tip has rough finish and did not tin well3. It arrived with a UK plug – but I am in Australia – different plug.4. Money – one can get better iron – for me it was a novelty of a LED Halo ringRecommendationNot recommended.//Nick
