Mine lasted all of 4 months, and in the middle of soldering I am left holding wires!
The solder gun just came apart in my hand, out of no where.
Just broke in half.
NICE!:wink:
Now I am left holding the bag on 4 pairs of IC's I have already promised people!:wink:
Always have a back up!:cool:
Guess that is all you can expect for $12!
Pretty dangerous though had the quick disconnect come loose.
Oh well, Weller or Hakko for me in the future, that is the only good thing about it!
Oh yeah, did I mention the size 12 and the whole "floor" thing?:confused:

    Weller makes a great soldering station.

    Won't stand up to a boot stomping it into the floor though. Pepster time to put on some soothing music and relax a bit.

    I hear ya!:wink:
    Thing is, as it happened, it was pretty dangerous, and believe me, I have been in the AC business for some time!
    Really shocked me (no AC), but I was startled by the whole thing!
    One second, soldering, the next second, wires in my hand!
    NOT GOOD MY FRIEND!
    I can assure you I have no reason to post this crap other than to warn other folks (I have better things I could be doing, believe me)!
    This damn sure is not a game.
    It happened and I am sure it could happen with any Name on the gun.
    But I have never have it happen with any other brand!
    Freak deal.........could be.
    Prolly happen with any brand depending on the circumstances.
    BUT STILL NOT COOL!
    Don't give a damn who it is!
    Won't happen again with me, with that name on the station!
    Promise!:wink:

    I certainly was not, it just seemed to happen that way (quote)!
    Sorry about that my friend!:wink:

    I am not to sure. I just know a lot of guys on the rc forums say they are nice. No personal experience. It probably uses special tips too.

    I really like Weller.
    I had a 30watt Weller "pen type" iron when I did car installs!
    Just that little iron was killer (wish I still had it)!
    Thanks Face, it is between the Weller and the Hakko stations!:wink:
