Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weller WES51 Analog Soldering Station
Customer Review: Weller WES51 Digital readout soldering iron
Summary: 4 Stars
Works well. Nice selection and availability of tips. Only negative I report here is the temperature control knob shaft broke on mine. Upon taking off the rubber feet and the 4 screws holding the case together I found the knob is way too flimsy (very tiny plastic shaft) for the tiny variable resistor control it turns. Just poor engineering/quality - the knob to control connection should be much more rugged for the price of the iron. Otherwise a nice functional tool.Customer Review: Awesome tool

The Weller WES51 (Analog Soldering Station) is amazing. I had been using whatever soldering iron was on sale whenever I needed one, only to have it fail after a few uses. After the last one broke I decided it was time to move up to a decent iron. I researched several and decided the WES51 would meet my needs - the best bang for the buck. It has performed flawlessly. I could have spent much more money, but I don't think I could have bought a better tool.Customer Review: WES51 Weller Solder Station Review

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.Customer Review: Fantastic iron

After having been let down by a Radio Shack brand iron that was impossible to find replacement tips for, I opted for a well-known name & I'm glad I did. This iron is a champ. It doesn't have some of the wiz-bang features of higher-end products, but it's a solid setup. The stand is heavy and has good rubber feet to keep it in place on a work surface. Tip replacement is easy & replacement tips are easily found.Customer Review: Works well, typical of Weller soldering products.
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice solderstation. Lived up to my high expectations for a Weller product. Features I like: Slim solder pencil, (although you can't take it apart to repair it, the pencil is available as a replacement part and not expensive). Heats up very quickly. Uses standard weller tips. Good heat output (50 watt iron) for a small solder station. I use it daily for electronics repair, and it is serving me well.
