5.0 out of 5 stars When you have to put together BIG wires, use this!, February 6, 2002

This review is from: Weller WEL8200PK 120-Volt 140/100 Watts Universal Soldering Gun Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

Soldering irons are great for electronics component and circuit board assembly, but when the occasion comes when solder has to be applied to big wiring (or removed from it), the volume of metal sucks away the heat faster than an ordinary iron can apply it. On those occasions, only a solder gun or a gas torch applys enough joules of energy for the job, and a solder gun does a much neater job without endangering nearby possesions. Weller is the industry leader for these devices. Changing tips is a bit of a hassel, and somebody at Weller needs to revisit that engineering, but its overall a very nice tool for what it does.

This Weller soldering iron is not the heavy duty model. I use it for small soldering jobs around the house. For these purposes, it is nicely adequate.
I like the carrying case as the last iron did not have one and ended up bouncing around in my kit bag loose. I could never find the solder. The light and two levels of heat are also convenient.

4.0 out of 5 stars Caution: changes in kit, September 6, 2008

This review is from: Weller WEL8200PK 120-Volt 140/100 Watts Universal Soldering Gun Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

Caution to buyers: Weller (Cooper) has changed the contents of the kit. The product description says that the gun has dual lights - it doesn't, it has one bulb - and that the 8200PK kit contains a flux brush and a soldering aid tool: it doesn't have these in it at present. Obviously Cooper wanted to cost-reduce the contents but did not update the description vendors use. Tonight I shopped at three retailers and at every one the kit did not have the full claimed contents. One other problem: just try finding a retailer who carries the tips in stock. Fry's, Home Depot, Loewes did not. Only Orchard Supply in the SF Bay Area actually had them. Aside from this, the gun is functionally a good one and I have always been fond of Weller guns and will continue to buy them.
