Weller transforms hand soldering. The art of hand soldering has been around for a very, very long time, thousands of years in fact. But it was only until 1941 that a transformer based instant heating soldering method was developed by an impatient American radio repairman who was tired of sitting around waiting for his soldering gun to heat up. Carl E. Weller had to wait until after WWII ended in 1945 to get his Weller Manufacturing Company going. In 1960, the Weller Manufacturing Co. in the US patented the “Magnate” soldering iron which used a magnetic component to regulate the temperature at the iron’s tip. In an expansion overseas beginning in 1959, the Weller ElektroWerkzeuge GmbH plant in Besigheim, Germany, along with new plants in other countries, was organized to manufacture temperature controlled irons and soldering guns for primarily industrial markets throughout Europe and the Near East. Keeping pace with the increasing complexity of our customers’ needs, Weller Germany became the market leader for developing and manufacturing hand soldering products worldwide. Our products were proudly emblazoned with “Made in Germany”, signifying innovation and reliability.

Customers say
Customers like the functionality, build quality, and value for money of the soldering iron. They mention it works great on heavy-duty soldering jobs, is worth the price, and has a storage case. Some also like the power and speed. However, some customers have reported that the duty cycle is poor and the heat level is mixed.

it’s a beast of a soldering gun.
… I have a couple. It is heavy duty AND HEAVY! you need to be Hercules to pull the trigger. BUT it’s a great gun.

Cosmetic Imperfections? PLEASE.. This was opened up and all the wiring re-solderd by an 8 year old
The soldering iron is so-so. It has a plastic emblem stuck in place of a real emblem that is on the older ones. It was repaired (or NOT) by an 8 year old child working for amazon repair. It was supposed to be Cosmetic Issue (external) that I could see.. but When I went to use it, the switch was sticking. It would work then not then work as I wiggled it around. The lights didn’t work. I found one of them was loose and tightened it and it started working.. then stopped.. then started again.Since I looked at it when I got it but Covid sidetracked everyone (including me) It had not been used till today.It looked OK but.. the return window was gone.. so I opened it up and found the following issues.1. Cord was not inside the strain relief channel.2. One wire of the cord had been caught between the two sides where the screw clamped it down. It only caught the plastic wrapping of the wire and was usable once I repositioned the cord.3. the lights would not work reliably. I found a wiring diagram for this and found it just had 2 wire taps from the transformer that fed the 2 bulbs in series. 300 watts = more light. 200watts= less light. But the bulb I found loose, the fitting it screwed into was so sloppily manufactured that you had to turn the bulb hard with two fingers to get it to turn far enough for coorect contact and operation. I had to really tighten it to get it to work.4. the switch was REALLY BAD.. even though it worked. The trigger would slop around where It moved inside the switch. It would usually turn on. Just sometimes, it wouldn’t turn off on it’s on.I sprayed some liquid teflon inside the switch assembly and used it (the switch) about 300-400 times. Eventually it smoothed out.5. ALL THE SOLDERING CONNECTIONS INSIDE THIS SOLDERING GUN CONSISTED OF A BIG GLOB OF SOLDER COVERING THE CONNECTION BUT SOMEHOW MAGICALLY, NOT FLOWING DOWN AND OVER THE TERMINAL!!!. I have soldered since I was 13 (in 1965) and have soldered maybe 5000 connections over that many years. I would be TOTALLY EMBARASSED to let anyone see the crummy soldering job that was done. It was cold solder joint and/or no flux.After all these repairs, It works fine now. I just pitty someone that didn’t know how to open and repair this soldering gun with it’s “Cosmetic Imperfections”. They would have tossed it in the trashAgain, Amazon Refurbished and/used and/repaired.. MUST be tested throughly. The repair that you get will make or brake the purchase and remember..I bought a ‘certified refurbished” ryobi saw from amazon about the same time as this, and when I went to use it I found the bearing for the blade (that holds the blade while it is spinning) was throughly worn out. It was impossible to saw a straight line with it and I had to purchase the part from Ryobi to fix it. When I did it works well now but that part cost me $45 with shipping and 2 months to source it from Ryobi. It is well now…But….”Let the Buyer Beware!”

Finally enough power to solder outdoors.
I got tired of waiting and waiting for a solder joint to heat up outdoors. The wind wicks away the heat, and no amount of filed-expedient wind blocks seem to help. That 40-watt pencil just ain’t doing it. I purchased this solder gun, and with 300 watts of power I can finally complete multiple 12-gauge-wire joints with ease. The gun is fairly well balanced, somewhat front heavy, but I can deal with it. The duty-cycle is listed at 20% (1 minute on, 4 minutes off), which seems less than I expected from an “industrial” gun. However, just setting the gun aside to prepare a couple more joints will suffice for the 80% downtime required. It is packaged with one extra tip included in the case. The case in which it comes is a standard issue blow-molded plastic, with a see-through panel in the lid. I suppose the hinges will give out under heavy use, but the days of metal cases are long gone. Too bad, I would pay extra for a steel case in which to store and transport this tool. All things considered, a good tool at a good price. It will probably outlast me, and I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a good heavy-duty solder gun.

D650PK – The Best!
I’ve used soldering tools for over 50 years, since my first Weller gun in 1961, and I’ve tried them all. Some otherwise pretty good guns can’t take being dropped (even once). A lot of tips just don’t last. Some of the newer guns are awkward and uncomfortable to hold. Some of the soldering tips waste a most of their heat in the legs, instead of at the tip. I have a few old guns in need of tips, which are unavailable, or the substitute tips don’t work right.But now – this gun is so good, I wish I’d bought one decades ago! It fits my hand perfectly. It’s compact and well balanced. Materials and workmanship are first class – and even though I haven’t dropped it yet, I can tell by the feel the housing is tough enough to take some knocks. Best of all – the tip gets hot FAST, and there is plenty of power for big jobs. After a day of soldering on #8AWG and #6AWG terminal lugs (40 or so), the tip still looks like new.Weller has been making this gun for a long time, and the tips are readily available. I’m convinced its the one to buy.The case is very handy – a soldering gun needs some protection when not in use, and this case works well for that. The transparent window is not such a good idea, though. Mine kept popping out, until I glued it in. I hope the glue holds.

Good solid powerful soldering gun.. fast heat with two settings and good value for money.. not for little jobs so be careful as this really puts out a lot of heat and fast. Will need some cool down time if doing a lot with it though…To be fair I wish the company still made the older slightly more powerful version

This is one powerful soldering gun. When I was a boy, my father had one like this, but the small one, 100 watts I think. It also worked fine, but was too small for many things. Back then, there were no internet and no DIY videos to show you how to set up the device for optimal work.When it arrived, I was working with some electrical renovations in my house and I had a couple of connections where 3 single wires of 10 gauge had to be securely connected together. I was afraid my extra large connector (Marrette) wouldn’t be enough. I used my new Weller Soldering gun. It come to maximum heat in a couple of seconds and I was able to solder my 3 wires together in no time at all. It was so fast in doing that job, I felt kind of let down because the job was done before I was able to completely enjoy the process… LOLI just wished the maximum heat on the device was on the second click of the trigger switch. As it is, the maximum heat is on the first click of the switch and the second click is for the medium heat. Unlike my dad’s old Weller soldering gun were it was the other way aound.

This was perfect for soldering to the ignition wires of my car for a remote start / security system. It saved my butt. The 120w gun I was trying to use didn’t output enough heat.
