Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weller WES51 Analog Soldering Station
Customer Review: Spend the money, it's well worth it...
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are going to do some electronic repair, don't try to get by with a simple soldering iron. The fast temperature contol of this unit dumps in more heat right away when you need it, then backs off when you're not soldering. Once you use it, you'll see the difference. It just plain works better.Customer Review: The Best Iron I Ever Had
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is just remarkable in my opinion. The temp control is great when considering sensitive components and different types of solder. The stand is good to. I've used this now for a few months and it's the best iron I have ever owned. It seems so well made that I hope I can give it to one of my kids someday.
Customer Review: This is the ONLY soldering station you'll ever need
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this station at work on a daily basis and it has never once given me any problems, nor has my co-worker's given him any either. These are extremely reliable and you can find a tip for whatever type of job you're doing. I'd give it 11 out of 10 stars any day hands-down.
Customer Review: WES-51 Soldering station is a toy.
Summary: 1 Stars
This unit was replacing my 20 year old Weller TC 201 which operated flawlessly for hundreds of hours of use. After a couple hours of use the WES-51 stop heating. I sent it to Weller for warranty repair and they returned it with a new soldering pencil. A month or so later the whole unit just died including the digital display a totally differen't problem. In addition to the breakdown it also has some design flaws being ,the metal barrel which is push fitted into the plastic pencil holder keeps coming loose when any lateral pressure is applied (ie) desoldering.
Its really is a terrible iron , Find a used TC 201 on E-Bay and stay away from this one.
Customer Review: WES51 Weller Solder Station Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these about 5 years ago. It worked fine and all of a sudden it stopped. Doing trouble shooting told me that the printed circuit board was bad. Rather than try to repair it, I went to several sites looking for a new one. Amazon had the best price and as a bonus, the shipping was for free. It was a no-brainer. I ordered the item and it came in two days. Was exactly as I ordered. I was very pleased. Now, I am back in business.
