The real deal at an affordable price
SUMMARYI love my WE1010NA and would heartedly recommend it to friends and family. It is very well built, easy to use, and has precise temperature control while soldering components. DETAILSAs a recently retired engineer specializing in electronic manufacturing for many years, Iâve often borrowed time on different types of soldering stations. Generally, the soldering specialists on the manufacturing floor had Weller-brand stations that were larger (more powerful) and more sophisticated. Still, the WE1010NA gives essentially the same performance, but with a lot more bang for your buck. ð The first thing I noticed upon unboxing the WE1010NA was its quality. Though Weller was originally an American company, it is now German. The WE1010NA was designed in Germany and is made in Mexico. ð Even the cradle for the soldering iron is made of what appears to be solid die-cast zinc with a durable black powder coating (paint). And thatâs good because you want a heavy cradle that doesnât easily move around and tip over as you use it. ð The only thing I didnât like about the WE1010NA is a small detail on that nice heavy soldering cradle: It had only three holes for spare soldering tips; the remaining five (three in a column to the right and two on top) were smaller ones for accessories of some other sort⦠I donât know what. Since I had also purchased the five-piece Weller soldering tip assortment, I wanted a proper home for them, so I merely enlarged three of the smaller holes with a #2 drill bit (à0.221â³). ð The second thing I did upon unpacking my WE1010NA was check that it truly pushes 70 watts of heating power to the soldering tip; I measured a total soldering station power consumption of 66 watts. Assuming the heating circuitry is 90 percent efficient, thatâs 60 watts at the soldering tip, which is close to the claimed 70 and good enough for electronic soldering. BACKGROUND INFO: What you want with any soldering iron is a quick response to boosting heating power to the soldering tip after you wipe it on the wet sponge and begin soldering. You also want the same quick reaction time when you start soldering something with appreciable thermal mass, like a 16-gauge (1.3 mm²) wire to a contact terminal. And, of course, you want accurate temperatures. ð See the accompanying video showing how precisely the WE1010NA controls tip temperature. The first thing I did after unboxing my Weller WE1010NA was calibrate it using its âOFFSETâ adjustment feature. In my case, I calibrated it to 183 °C by wrapping the tip with a 63/37 tin/lead eutectic solder, which has a sharp melting point of 183 °C; that is to say, it has no melting *range* throughout which it is partially molten, or plastic. As you can see in the video, my WE1010NA was off by only 2 °C. The eutectic solder wouldnât melt at an indicated 180 °C and immediately melted and fell off the tip at an indicated 181 °C instead of the proper 183 °C. A simple â2 °C offset, and I had my WE1010NA dialed in perfectly. HINT: Unless you are building for-sale equipment certified as being compliant with strict IPC specifications, the primary objective when setting the temperature of soldering irons is to keep the tip temperature as low as possible without suffering any tedious delay in getting your components up to temperature; this increases tip life and avoids excessive time dwell and overheating of electronic components. Usually, I keep my iron set to 100 °C beyond the melting point of my solder (283 °C setpoint for 63/37 Sn/Pb eutectic) for low-mass soldering like SMT components and ¼ W resistor leads. And Iâll go as high as +130 or 140 °C beyond the melting point (313â323 °C setpoint for 63/37 Sn/Pb eutectic) when soldering objects with significant thermal mass like larger-diameter wires.

As Expected
After returning 3 soldering stations that were not made in the USA, I gave in to getting a Weller. I usually buy what I read from the specs of the tool I want and disregard the manufacturers name. I restore antique radios which requires lot’s of component replacement.Part of this restoration is removing components from 70 year old soldering joints which at times can be very difficult to do.Most of the other soldering irons that I had previously, except one, took quite a long time to liquify the joint. The tip’s of the iron acted like a “heat sink” when heating the joint. At times the tip actually froze in place! It seemed like the iron tip temperature could not keep up? It struggled to increase it’s temperature to accomplish the job!I wanted a station that I can control the temperature which I usually set at 690 F. One of my previous stations I wanted to set my temperature to 690 F . I had to dial in the temperature to 850 F to achieve that. I took a type “K” thermocouple and measured the tip when it was at 690 F and the set ping dispaly read 850 F ! Sent that one back! That station was around $55.The other problem with this station, which I would have never imagined, is that it put out so much electrical noise that I had to shut it off to listen to the radio I was working on! I usually turn on the radio after installing a component to make sure it’s working. I mean this soldering station acted it was like an AM transmitter! Sent that one back.So, after 3 non “working” stations I gave in. This Weller station was $110. More than I usually would pay for a tool like this.First, This Weller station itself is heavy. I believe it uses some kind of variac transformer and not a solid state control, or rheostat. I like that right away. It was heavy and stayed in place when you pulled on the iron cord across you work bench. Second, it had a separate iron holder with sponge plate that was heavy also. Perfect!The LCD screen had large numbers you could read at a glance. Third, it was super easy to set the temp and ALSO you could see the temp drop when applying the tip to remove wires or components from a terminal lets say. You could see the temp drop on the LCD screen and the rapidly adjust the temp back to the set point of the station. (690 F) This iron is not a “quitter”, it keeps up!The only little negative is that you have to buy “Weller” tips. Which are really not that expensive.You do not get all the other gadgets that these other iron’s come with.It’s well made and simple to operate. So, I guess I am set for life. This should last, finally!

I love this soldering station
Fantastic product! This is my first soldering station, so i cant compare it to anything else, but it works extremely well, the iron handle feels incredibly in your hands, it heats very quick to the set temperature, its very easy to change tips, the stand is very sturdy, and it just works really well like it should. Its a great value for its price.

Es lo que buscaba, excelente equipo para mi taller de reparación.

I bought this for my husband in April, kept it safe and hidden and gave it to him the other day for his June birthday at which point he discovered that it was 120v and not 240v – so unusable in UK. This is sold on the Amazon UK site and as someone who was given a name of a thing to buy, I would need to have read and understood the small print at the bottom of the page to have caught on to the fact that it was not for UK use – this is such an important fact that surely it should have been stated somewhere more obviously. Anyway, I unwittingly bought it and now we have spent days trying to find a part online that we can use to change the transformer to 240 v. It wasn’t even until I’d bought it that I realised it was being shipped from USA but even at that point it didn’t occur to me that it couldn’t be used here. So ultimately, I am sure it is a great item, but at the moment, we can’t use it and by the time we find, and pay for a part… it will have cost a lot more than I bargained for… if it works at all. Really, why is it on the Amazon UK website at all? It was indeed my fault, but I think a little more help and clarity on the sellers page would have been useful.

Well I have had many soldering irons, but I think this is a keeper… works well, easy to use, holds temps well (for what I do with it, electronics), and seems sturdy. Whished it would come with tip cleaner (not the foam type) but I find it a joy to use. Heats quickly, turns off automatically. Not sure why, but my tips stay clean on this iron, probably because they are high quality… purchased spare tips but have not used one yet! Would definitely recommend.
