A lightweight pencil iron is the heart of this system. View larger. | Durable, Easy-to-Control Pencil Iron
At the heart of the WLC100 Soldering Station is a high-quality lightweight pencil iron with an ST3 iron-plated copper tip. To ensure that you can work comfortably for long stretches of time, the iron has a cushioned foam grip that sits comfortably in your hand as you work. It has a replaceable heating element, so you can continue using the same iron for a long time to come. Easy-to-Adjust Variable Power Controls
Unlike many basic soldering kits, which can be difficult to adjust, the WLC100 features a variable power control that lets you adjust the power level from five to 40 watts with a simple turn of the knob on the base unit. This lets you choose the precise setting for each unique job that you tackle. The base also includes a "power-on" indicator light and on/off switch to help keep you from leaving a hot iron on accidentally. The workstation also provides a built-in iron stand to keep your workspace organized and a natural sponge tip cleaning pad to keep your tip ready to go at all times. High-Quality Accessories for Dependable Performance
The WLC100 includes an ST3 iron-plated 1/8-inch screwdriver tip. Weller also offers a wide array of compatible ST series tips to perform a variety of applications (additional tips are sold separately). All Weller tips are constructed of solid copper and plated with iron, as well as nickel and chromium to protect against corrosion and solder creep, helping to ensure that your tools perform reliably over time. Additionally, Weller tips are pre-tinned with tin/lead solder. This WLC100 Soldering Station is UL-listed, which means it has been tested and meets independent safety standards. It is backed by a one year warranty against manufacturer’s defects in material and workmanship.

Preacher G (Blues de Ville)
Went thru a lot of $9.99 POS in my time. Only seemed to need a solder iron once in a blue moon. Then I needed to do a PCB circuit board with caps and resistors and everythang. This iron will do a marvelous job when variable rates of heat are needed. The chisel tip that comes with it can be challenging, I'm going conical next DIY. All in all this did just what was advertised and seems very well put together. Forsee no problems and would buy again in a heartbeat.

Over the years I purchased basic $15 or less soldering irons but you get what you pay for. The tips don't last and they burn out.
The Weller WLC100 Soldering Station is the best bang for your buck. It ideal for the type of work I do in Model Railroading.
I did not need a very pricey Soldering Stations.
Very good for Computer or Automotive Projects July 1, 2010

This solder set is perfect for you'll need to solder electronics whether it be for car or computer. It has adjusting heat, up to 40watts on the iron itself but up to over 400 watts from the distribution block. I would recommend buying extra tips with different sizes for what ever project you may be needing it for. The sponge on the side comes in handy for cleaning the tips and the holder for the iron is secure in place. I used mine to solder bulbs on the back of my tahoe cluster to replace the blown ones that GM decided to make un-replaceable. Also i used it to remove and solder chips and resistors that had busted on a motherboard. Good set!!
Good Stuff! June 17, 2010

I use this for my radio controlled cars. Works very well. Delevers quick heat to small parts without heat damage. Fits nicely on my workbench. Been wanting a Weller for a long time. I feel this was a very good buy.
