Comparing this to the 951 is ridiculous. That's a $260 unit. I have had this Weller for a couple a years now. They had a design flaw in the iron which caused it to come apart. Weller replaced mine no questions asked with the new design and it has been working great. I don't do a lot of re-work or industrial type soldering. This is a perfect entry level soldering iron from a trusted brand that destroys the cheap crap you see out there. Quickly heats up and maintains temps. Also this is usually at $110, rarely goes on sale. Great deal.

They heat up faster and maintain their temp better, making it easier to work with things that dissipate heat quickly.

Old technology tips FYI. Takes about 40 seconds for tip to get to temp vs 10 seconds on newer style. Also there is an EEVBLOG video on the lack of safety features in this particular model compared to say the Hakko FX888D.

Definitely rubbish. TS100 or Hakko FX951. TS100 is probably half the price and will absolutely outperform this stoneage tech Weller.

fwiw, I have a Hakko FM204 that I got a great deal on. I'll never go back to tips without the heating element built in.
Can you explain why tips with built in heating elements are that much better?

Plus when the heating element goes out, it's not major surgery to replace it. You don't have to stop working, you just grab another tip. Had the WESD51 that had the element go out twice on me. Never again.

Good iron for a good price. Yes, it's not an FX951 but it is equivalent to the Hakko 888 or older 936.

Good job completely ignoring the TS100.

I have the hakko 888D and I love the little guy. I think I got mine for $79.99 on a one day deal a while back, lowest I've seen but it worth it if it's a bit over. The compact size makes it easy to fit anywhere on my desk and temps ramp up quickly and maintain well. Changing put tips is pretty easy as well. Never tried this weller in particular but my shop has all weller.

Probably because they don't have experience w it. I have a ts80p myself. The new pinecil will probably be the go startup iron instead of the ts100.

Fancy! I might get into this one day to DIY LED lights in Lego sets.. just finding step-by-step For Dummy info on how to do it without destroying lego bricks is a different story entirely.. I've also been trying to figure out exactly what they use in the Lego light kits like exact LED light size and the strands they use.. they really make a massive difference between a dull Star Wars ship vs one that actually has life to it.. or any model/Lego set for that matter.

I have the Hakko FX888, and adjusting the temp is the dumbest, most counterintuitive process in the entire world.

The Weller, with it's simple up/down arrows is light-years ahead. You don't have to read the manual to figure out how to adjust the temps.

That's what I have (Weller WESD51) but I don't use it a lot. It's worked great for my needs. It's what I learned on as a ETN in the Navy. I would say its a decent machine for the money. I only paid $86 for it. It's fairly compact and heats up quickly. I also like the fact that temp is controlled via a dial. I don't understand why everyone is using buttons.

Weller only because the temp adjust on the Hakko isn't as easy. The Hakko iron stand is better and having owned a 936 for 25 years and a Hakko battery iron I will say I like Hakko irons.
