Great tool!
This soldering gun was able to solder the largest of wires and instantaneously. My old soldering iron burnt out. Now I'm glad it did!! I consider this one of my best tools!

    Bad Gun
    Poor quality from a well know company. The lights did not work. I had to take the gun apart and found that the bulbs were not tight. While trying to tight them one broke. I had to find new bulbs that worked. Now they are loose again. This gun is a piece of junk.

    Works As expected
    Got hot quick and stayed hot. Solders 12 ga aluminum stranded wire to an electric motor no sweat, something my 100watt gun wouldnt do.

    Terrible case with nice tool
    The tool is nice, heavy, and quick heat up. But the case is terrible because the top cover of the case is not sturdy at all, very thin plastic film like the plastic package. I like the tool, but I almost return it because the case.

    Weller is not well
    The red trigger switch is a piece of junk- Where's the 'detent'? Why does this Journeyman Electronics Repairman have to "hunt" for the correct power on position and often failing while the tip gets cold again? Weller should be ashamed to put their name on this frustrating tool. Refund PLEASE!!!

    Another great tool
    It warms up quickly,as well as a good handle grip, long electrical cord. A great tool at a great price.

    Heavy duty Soldering Gun.
    This is the one soldering gun to buy. It is well built, heavy duty and has over twice the Watts as most of the others on the market. As with everything you can buy at Walmart this is the best price anywhere for the best soldering gun around. Thank you Walmart. Oh this is not made in China.

    Disappointing
    I had the 100/140 watt version of this gun that served me well for over 40 years until I dropped it and the housing shattered. I had hoped that this one would be as good, but I am disappointed in the quality. The case is nice, although I don't really have need of it. The workings of the gun are loose inside the housing which makes it difficult to keep the tip aligned with the work to be soldered. The handle is tiny and very slick, making it hard to hold. The soldering tip was not tightened in the gun so it didn't heat up. I remembered the instructions for my old gun mentioning that the tip needed to be periodically retightened, and sure enough the set screws holding the tip in were not even finger tight. The trigger is counterintuitive in that the first position is the high setting and pulling it all the way back is the lower wattage position. The instruction pamphlet is tiny and impossible to read without a magnifier. Weller's quality has gone down hill, but they are the only higher wattage soldering guns that I found at a reasonable price.

    Product needs better engineering.
    Had to open the plastic handle to bend a brass tab on the two lights to keep them from rattling and blinking. Made in Mexico is better than Made in China but not by much. The product needs to be re-engineered a bit.
