electrical board soldering made easier

Loved the temperature adjustment knob. I used it to solder wires on a trailer and also to solder wires to battery terminals on a bubbles box for live bait. Will be using for more electronics.

I like it. Simple , basic and effective.

Great for my current needs of RC soldering electronics. Easy to use. Weller made good products during my childhood so I have some brand loyalty (whether in 2023 it is warranted or not I cant say).

Does exactly whats its supposed to do. It is a Weller after all. It's reliable and maintains a stable temp so you don't over heat components or tracers on boards etc.

Works great

The only thing I would change is to display temperature instead of simple numerical index on the heat knob.

This one is a winner! The Weller WLC100 ($51) replaces a very similar 40-year old ultra-reliable Weller commercial soldering station that finally gave out. This new model is thankfully more compact and a bit nicer -- and it performs every bit as well. For heat control, the 5-position knob is handy and works great (no digital readout, but really not needed). Also, the price is less than half of the current deluxe 2-piece model with a digital display (W1010NA - $115).Sadly, according to Weller, the WLC100 model has recently been discontinued. If you're interested in getting one, buy it right away as they are disappearing fast. In my opinion, this model is far superior to the model that replaces it (WLSK8012A - $69).Having at least a 40-watt iron with adjustable heat and a stable place to put the hot iron are must-have features in my book. The WLC100 meets my needs perfectly for electronic work and general soldering of smaller items. This new Weller puts a smile on my face everytime I use it. Check it out for yourself.

Been using these soldering irons on the job for years, finally got one for myself.

Works as advertised

High quality

Weller is a good brand. I have been using their products since about 1964. I still use a soldering gun I bought back then. This is my second one but I gave it one less star as I put high marks for other Weller items I still have. The minor problem is The wire from the iron to the control station is a lot stiffer than the old ones and tend to get in the way. It tries to keep the same kinky profile as taken from the box. I said minor and I still recommend it. On the gun only problem is bending the tips as it bounces around in my toolbox.

This is by far the worst soldering station I've ever worked with! Don't buy it. If it cannot melt the solder what it can do?

I am not a professional electronics worker, so I don't have the experience necessary to give a truly accurate review. But I have enjoyed using this iron. There is no temperature feedback, but I usually just turn it up all the way :P and it works. The base is very stable with little rubber feet to prevent sliding. It heats in less than 2 minutes, which is really nice. Hope the review helps with your decision!

This seems similar to the Ungar irons that I used back in the '60s when I worked as a wireman/assembler - only better. The adjustable heat handles a variety of tasks. The stand extends long enough to protect the tip from touching wayward items. The iron has a good balance, allowing it to lay flat on a table, which makes wire-tinning easier. And the iron 'feels' good in your hand with its grippable collar.

I've had Weller soldering irons for as long as I've been soldering. Always top quality, every time. My old one still works like a champ but this one is just amazing in comparison. I have the base with the variable dial for temp and it takes quite some time to heat up. This is like a dream! Heating up quicker than I can get the solder area set up! Absolutely recommend this iron for any electronics enthusiast with any skill at all in soldering

Good basic soldering Iron. Used it a few times and it works well

The iron heats up quickly. I only have a few this I dislike about it. The cords are very stiff and cause the unit to move around when using. Will have to find a way to mount base to work table. The other issue for me is that the iron is a very tight fit into holder. Thinking of sanding down the iron where it connects to loosen the hold. Other than those issues great iron.

Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect for small soldering jobs.

Definitely going to need to get a third arm station for this, this is a great kit,
