This is a great product, Weller makes the best soldering stations, I use it all the time and have no complaints about its quality. I always wanted a solder station with a temp control for the iron and although this is hobby grade its works Great for the price. I do recommend buying a assortment of soldering tips for it, the one it comes with is rather large for intricate soldering but good for melting stuff together when needed.

this does the job of a professional soldering iron. I was using it to do rework on a computer logic board. it works great.

i LOVE this model, it has and continues to serve me well for years now.
5 years ago i got tired of crappy ones and not having a variable power knob.
i treated myself to this model and am happy i did every time i use it..

Like another review said, FINALLY ONE THAT PUTS OUT ENOUGH HEAT!!!
I've tried a battery-powered soldering iron (Weller)... cost about $17 at Lowes. Junk. Heats up fast, sure, but doesn't maintain that temperature at all.
Tried a few cheap-o soldering irons from Radioshack, Wal-Mart, etc. Junk. Same as above... don't retain heat. Plus it doesn't have a stand lol.
This one finally did the job... and did it terrifically in fact! Heats up very quickly... and soldered anything I threw at it with ease. Absolutely love it... the tip it comes with is quite nice too. I'd like to pick up a variety of tips as this one is a little big, but should do fine for most of the soldering I'll be doing.

The Weller WLC100 is a great, if not the best, soldering pencil an electronics hobbyist can get. This soldering station is marketed as a hobby item, not a professional one. Pro models have removable cords and automatic temperature feedback control to maintain a constant temperature under load.
I bought a ST7 conical tip (fine and pointy) because I think the provided ST6 chisel tip is too big for all general PCB work - hobbyist and pro. The provided tip is great for, say, automotive and appliance wiring, switches, etc.
The ST7 tip works great on PCBs when the temp control is dialed to a "2". If I'm desoldering a lead on a non-thermal ("cartwheel", "thermal relieved") pad to a ground plane, then I have to temporarily crank the dial up to "3" or "4". Don't leave the setting this high as it will vaporize and burn flux much too quickly. And, high tip temperatures corrode the tip quickly.
This Weller model has the following advantages over the ZD Electronic Tools "General purpose solder station for the hobbist [sic: "hobbyist"].
1- The foam grip is a bit thicker and cushier;
2- The pencil's cord is removable;
3- (?) The tips may (or may not) be more durable.
Differences between models:
- The Weller station is 2.5X as expensive;
- Weller tips are 2.5X as expensive.
- The tips are similar, but *NOT* interchangeable;
- The Weller pencil's cord is removable;
- (?) The heater control electronics may (or may not) be different.
- Station's plastic color: gaudy orange vs. light cyan (whoop-de-do);
All other characteristics of the 2 models appear identical.
Th WellerWLC100 is a class act, especially for being a hobbyist tool. Similar pro models (heat sensor + electronic temperature control + display) start at 2X the cost.
