5.0 out of 5 stars Weller SPG80L
Works wonderfully for stained glass, could use a regulator to control the tempature after is has been on for a while.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tips are NOT good for stained glass
The only tips available for this iron are very blunt and not as good for stained glass work as the longer beveled ones I am used to. The chisel portion of the tip is about 1/4 inch long, they have about a 45 degree angle. I prefer the tips with 1/2 inch taper length. The barrel of the tips that go into the iron is 3/8 inch wide in diameter and over 1.5 inch long. Most...

Need a soldering iron for PL259 connectors? This one has ample power to do the job right. Neither overkill nor underpowered, but just right.
You would NOT want to use this for printed wiring boards.

This review is from: Weller SPG80L Marksman 80 Watt Stained Glass Soldering Iron (Tools & Home Improvement)
The only tips available for this iron are very blunt and not as good for stained glass work as the longer beveled ones I am used to. The chisel portion of the tip is about 1/4 inch long, they have about a 45 degree angle. I prefer the tips with 1/2 inch taper length. The barrel of the tips that go into the iron is 3/8 inch wide in diameter and over 1.5 inch long. Most tips have a smaller diameter and a shorter insertion length limiting the selection I have found to the three blunt chisel tips from Weller. They do not offer a screwdriver tip which in Weller speak appears to have the bevel length I prefer. I also like a tip that is less wide than the two they provide.
Perhaps you can get used to them, but it feels very clumsy for detailed stained glass work.
