I said it was crap compared to the Metcal, and it is. If you only know the weller, you will think it's awesome. If however you've known a Metcal, you'd call the Weller crap. It's the difference betwe

Bryan, You missed the point completely. I also object to your calling the Weller "crap". Really uncalled for. No need to call anything crap, that is the issue. We use Weller PS1100C Super Pro's out o

But the Wellers are, or were, inexpensive and are adequate for my use. If I were 30 or 40 years younger and had two steady hands I'd want something better for surface mount and DIPs. At 75 they are s

I'm sure that some of the alternate brands of soldering irons that have been mentioned are fine products. But to describe Weller products as "crap" is contradictory to my experience. When I was getti

Who knew people would be this emotionally involved with their choice of soldering iron? Soldering Irons: the third rail of ham radio politics. "It's a Weller, not a choice" I didn't use innuendo, as

Well!!! There seem to be as many opinions on soldering tools as there are about automobiles. As I originally posted, my old old soldering iron bit the dust and my primary use for it was in soldering

My 2 cents on soldering guns for PL259's: Decades ago my first job in technology was in the installation bay of a Motorola Service Station. I averaged at least 3 PL-259's a day and no one had heard o
