Weller har som vanligt ganska bra grejor.
Tyvrr tror man att det r en stor rulle ldtenn man fr med nr man kper kitet.
I verkligheten r det bara 100 gr tenn p stor bobin.
Avbitaren hller bra kvalite (iaf. nu nr den r ny).
Die Ltstation funktioniert wunderbar. Der Sternabzug begrndet sich in der sogenannten Betriebsanleitung. Bilder sagen mehr als tausend Worte ( zumal sie beersetzt werden mssten), aber etwas mehr Erklrung zu den Pictogrammen ist hilfreich. Beispiel: Mehr info zu der Sperrfungfunktion. Wie wird die PIN festgelegt.
Info zur Werkseinstellung: Funktionert nicht, wenn die Station gesperrt ist. Pech, wenn die PIN nicht mehr verfgbar ist.
I bought one of these from another supplier, but noticed Amazon are now cheaper at 149, making them quite good value.
These might be rated at 70 Watts, but the bits have very little metal in them and consequently they are only suitable for light work on printed circuit boards. Don’t use them for large jobs, such as a PL259 plug on RG213 coax, they will get there eventually but not as quickly as a humble Antex XS25 with a large bit. The Weller brochure indicates suggested use – outdoor and marine are not “ticked” as being suitable uses for this iron.
The “sleep mode” is really handy to both save electricity and save the bits. It works by monitoring fluctuations in temperature as you wipe the bit, or solder larger areas. You set a time, after inactivity it then drops to 180C until you cool the tip on a wet tip cleaning sponge, or tap a button.
The offset setting is a little confusing, it should really be called calibrate, as it’s a means of adjusting the indicated temperature.
Note, the only fuse for the station is the one fitted in the UK mains plug. One reviewer threw his in the scrap bin on discovering the lack of an internal fuse and complained to Weller about the safety of these units, especially in countries where the mains plug hasn’t a built in fuse.
I’ve had the same Weller iron for about 30 years now. It was in daily use for 10 of those and still going strong now. Only treated my self to a new one as I needed variable temperature control without the hassle of changing bits. If I had any complaint it would be that the iron is quite skinny compared to my old weller so not quite so easy to grip in the hand. But that is really personal preference.
What a great price for a Weller product.
The soldering station was well packed and easy to assemble.
Once plugged in the station heated up the soldering iron in seconds. The display on the station was well lit and the menu and temperatures were easy to read .
I’m still working through all of the features which are outlined in the supplied menu. The solder melted immediately and neatly.
The only niggle I have is the connection between the soldering iron and the soldering station seems a little flimsy even when tightened. I would have preferred that the connector be a lot more stable.
I gave it 4 stars because there was a damage on the box due to the packaging used was Amazon paper wrapper instead of normal delivery box but nonetheless the items are in good conditio
This is a premium product and does the job brilliantly. It gets very hot really quickly and has a good standby mode.
Having found my last iron to barely hot enough to tin itself let alone solder anything it was time for a new one.
This iron is hot-hot-hot and heats up very quickly. It also by default puts itself in standby very quickly (which is a configuration) which is slightly tedious doing jobs where the time prep’ing cables exceeds the time it can be bothered to stay hot.
The interface is simple, with few bells-and-whistles – not the many buttons/displays of the cheap-Chinese stuff that comes in at a third of the price.
This iron only comes with a single bit, but others freely available as genuine or pattern parts. It was the bits that swayed me away from the cheap-Chinese products not knowing how easy it would be to get them.
The soldering iron stand is heavy but does not attach to the base-unit in any way (unlike the Weller models of my youth which used to clip together).
So I think it’s entirely usable but seems rather expensive. I hope it lasts long enough to justify the premium price.
Best soldering iron I have owned. Easy to control the temperature. The iron itself is very lightweight and maneuverable. Easy to change the tips too. Comes with a sturdy iron holder too
I had been using my old Weller temperature controlled soldering iron since I worked in a circuit design laboratory more than 50 years ago and it was still going strong. Can’t get the tips for it now through so I thought it was time for a new one. Obviously I chose Weller. The new model is perfect.
Back into soldering and bought this as Weller is one of the better stations. Good control, tips don’t last that long at the temps required for lead free. Had an accident and the control unit hit the floor, exploding in bits. Looked for a new one…. this has gone up quite a bit since I bought it! But found it elsewhere over 50 cheaper, exact same model.
You can feel the quality just from the cable connecting the unit to the solder pen. Smooth, soft. The unit interface is straight to the point intuitive and I didn’t even need the manual to operate it (although I don’t recommend not reading instruction manuals).
Bonnes qualits de matriel. Fonctionne bien correspond aux besoins dfinis.
Mais plus cher que sur certains autres sites.
The weller WE1010 Works very good as expected hold temp and when it does fall which is rare you hardly aware as it regains heat quickly very pleased with this purchase.
I used to work as a professional repair tech many years ago, working for a US multinational and the equipment they bought for us was pretty good. This is better, in my opinion.
Iron, temperature control and accuracy are off the charts good. This is as good as equipment 10 times its price.
I don’t use the temp control much but 450c is higher than my previous iron got and paired with proper lead solder (if you can find it) this is perfect for all those precision jobs.
Arrived on time and in good condition.
A well made iron which is now replacing my cheap Chinese iron. The Chinese soldering station had all the right functions and layout but the iron was too flimsy. The Weller is made to a higher standard but is not as compact on the bench. I notice a small foreign particle sticking to the inside of the temperature display.
Other than these observations it is a very good iron.
The settings are pretty much self explanatory, temperature control is on point and very easy to use. I am ecstatic to the verge of tears in the difference this makes to my work in quality and overall speed. Kicking myself I didn’t get one sooner.
Others have pointed out that the LCD has no backlight, I don’t particularly see this as a negative because if you’re soldering in the dark you’re doing it wrong and there’s something very very wrong with you. Please solder responsibly and do so in a well lit space or you will do yourself some mischief.
Only gripe I have is that the rather lovely stand has a bunch of slots for what I presume is for your iron tips while not in use. You’d think they would slot in there nicely wouldn’t you? Well you’d be wrong, the (very small) default tip it comes with just about balances in there. Which is close enough I suppose, but still. It would be nice if they were a better fit. I suspect larger tips just won’t.
All in all it’s a fine thing.
This comes with one tip only, and it’s not the best I’ve had, but you can buy others and they’re easy to change.
The temperature control panel is not illuminated, but honestly, it is super easy to read, so who cares? The temperature control function of this soldering kit is much more accurate than cheaper models I’ve tried, altgough it’s a bit slower to reach the desired temperature than other models I’ve used in the past, including much cheaper ones.
One thing I do with cheap soldering stations (less than 25 pounds) is check the wiring, and without failure it is either maliciously dangerous, or dangerous through negligence (like the ground wire not being connected anywhere, or connected through a very thin cable which won’t work in a short circuit). I had one short while heating up, so I religiously check each new soldering station I got after. You can rest assured though that this soldering station is of the higher standards.
I really like that the soldering iron is replaceable separately from the station, and also that it has a very light and flexible cable. It really never gets in the way, and honestly, it’s the best I tried so far.
I’ve been using soldering irons for over 30 years and I learned to solder with Weller tools.
In the intermediate years I have used a variety of other brands, but cost was always an issue to me so I didn’t buy a Weller for home use.
I recently splashed out and treated myself to this and it really is a joy to use.
Doing fine work like soldering connectors onto LED strips is a breeze.
The temperature control is accurate and stable.
Highly recommend.
Prodotto di qualit professionale veramente ottimo!! L’ho acquistato per uso personale e lo consiglio a chiunque cerchi un buon stagnatore e sopratutto che duri nel tempo visto che da anni uso ogni giorno uno stagnatore weller nell’azienda in cui lavoro!!
While I have not used this Weller WE 1010 soldering station for very fine PCB component adjustments yet, I am happy to note that the start-up and basic functions are fine. The product build quality is excellent and controls such as temperature for example, for very easy to set. I like the heavier weight of the stand because it seems less likely for unintentional movement across the workspace.
Overall then, no practical problems with the operation the unit. Though quite expensive, it’s very well worth your consideration.
die ltstation find ich super. Ich kann mich ber die Flecibilitt des Kabels nicht beklagen. Das Kabel ist meiner meinung nach aussreichend flexibel.
