Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weller WPS18MP High-Performance Soldering Iron
Customer Review: Solid, cheap, but good.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this about a month ago to augment my personal toolkit I use in Iraq. I terminate a lot of radio cables, but need something that's fast to heat up and has a reasonable cool-down because of the random nature of when I need it.
Pros:
Heats up fast, and tells you when it's ready.
Excellent ergonomics. Soldering a pin onto a cable (especially with a 90 degree connector) is a very precise task. The soldering guns we have (TK-101/GSQ component, Weller GT7As) have huge tips not suitable for the work, and holding the trigger is annoying. The shape conforms to your hand well and lets you get it into tight spaces like a 90 degree connector's pin well easily.
Quick-change tip lets me separate the parts effortlessly in my toolbag so the tip sits in a pocket instead of the main area.
Con:
Only real one is personal preference; I don't like using the conical tips. They don't hold the solder well and get degraded faster than chisel tips. Being able to hold a small bead of solder and insert it into the hole in the pin is the ideal method when doing RG58, because holding longer will heat and expand the dielectric. If it came with both tips that would have been great, but not a major concern.
Overall, this is a great tool.
