I used several Weller solder stations thru the years. I just retired
to the garage, a model WCC for which I can no longer find tips. I
had one tip about 1/4 to 3/8 inch wide chisel point that was great
for very heavy soldering of large metal objects (actually too much
for a PL-259). Lost it
To Ed and all the others who responded to my query.
I weighed all your ideas and bought a Weller WESD51. Nice unit and does have
var temp.
So far works well.

In the WTCPT If you want to change the temperature you will have to
change the tip. I have been using the WESD51 which has a knob
adjustable temperature setting. During the build of my K3 being able to
adjust the temp based on what I was soldering was very handy. I have
never had a bad
Bill,
Absolutely bulletproof... I have owned one for over fifteen years and
have built
three K2's with it. Superb for its price point - ~$140-$150.
It is ESD safe, has over 35 different tips in the 600, 700, and 800
degree heat-range,
a quick disconnect plug for the iron on the power unit,
I'm using a WESD51 station as well and like it.
Turn the knob to change the temp is nice.
Also huge number of tips available...

My WTCPT wore out (base cracked, etc.) after 15-20
years; still usable but ... . I looked around and
ended up replacing it with the WESD51 for the
reasons cited below. As I recall the price was
about the same because the WTCPT is now out of
production.

Howdy Gang:
I had a Weller WTCPT soldering station for several years...it performed well.
Several years ago I decided to try a Hakko 936 soldering station (based largely
on excellent reports posted to the QRP-Lists.
The 936 was an excellent performer...when the new digital FX888D station came
FWIW, the FX-888D, at a MSRP of $107.47, or about $92 from Amazon, is ESD safe,
has a DIN plug connected hand piece that will accept 30 available tips, all of
which can be temp controlled between 120 899 °F. It also accepts a hot
tweezers for SMD work, and offers five user selectable preset
You guys got me thinking that I bought my Hakko 936 in 2004 to build a
newly purchased K2. So, I have had it for ten years. It has been in the
yard, on the roof and all over the property working on various antenna
projects as well as a bunch of bench work. It has performed well, while
