Weller WLIRK6023G 60W Soldering Iron Kit, LED Halo Ring, with Ergonomic Molded Pencil Grip Handle

Englischer Stecker

This soldering iron has no temperature control and dramatically overheats making it practically unusable. I am expecting it to burst into flames or stop working any second.. The design is poor making it very difficult to lay down safely whilst it heats up. It comes with a small piece of poor quality sheet metal which you are expected to bend into shape to provide a stand. It is not sturdy enough to hold the soldering iron safely. As others have said I would not trust it in a coiled spring holder because the handle gets so hot. This item fits under the category “Buy cheap, Buy twice”. Absolute rubbish and a definite safety hazard.

Good for larger jobs where more heat is required.

Died within a few days. No longer heats up at all. Hardly used.

Big disappointment for a well known brand. First time I used it for about an hour it was perfect. The second time I was planning to used it was surprised -LED ok but no heat at all as seen in the video. I even plugged the iron for 10 seconds before recording it. The LED is a nice idea but if the Iron is not heating up? Everything else is useless. The annoying part. Amazon is giving me a deal. Keep the product for a partial refund of £3 something? I find that insulting Amazon! I ended up returning the product, which I will appreciate the easy return.
