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.

For similar price, and some for $30-$50 more there are 2 in 1 soldering station, with hot air, sold in Amazon and eBay. Does anyone have exprience with those. I have been looking to get a soldering station. Those 2 in 1, 3 in 1, and even 4 in 1 stations' seems very financially appealing. Does anyone have exprience with those?

If you're looking to spend less than half this price, the Hakko 600 & 601 are amazing little irons. Can be had for around $40. it doesn't have as accurate temperature control, but it has enough setting to handle everything I've thrown at it, including silver solder.

+ 1 for the Ksger T12. Not as good as the Hakko FX951 but good enough for about a third of the cost. Tips are compatible too.

Wouldn't recommend this older model, go for a new integrated tip design.

What makes these tips different than those in the 888 (which appear to be the same as those in the 936). Also, I just skimmed that EEVblog video so I missed the safety feature differences. What did Dave find?

The FX888D and this Weller have the same tech with the ceramic element built into the handle instead of the the element built into the tips. Dave's blew up and let out smoke because it doesn't have a mains fuse and cooked his transformer. He wrote the company and they basically said to piss off.

I do have a FX888D and a TS12 and I like both for different things.

As for the safety listing, I think Weller adequately addressed the concern. The unit is UL (and others) listed. It died because it was a 120V unit plugged into a 240V (50hz to boot) power socket. I'm not sure that is a big issue for us US based users.

I do understand the difference between the heading element in the handle (it's located just behind the tip) vs in the tip itself. My battery Hakko has the latter while my 936 is the former. The difference is less where the heating element is and more that when made together you don't have an air gap between the heater and tip.

What I was asking is why the Weller would be old tech vs the 888.

I've been very happy with my 936 so I wouldn't hesitate to suggest a similar iron but I do get that the integrated tip models are even better in terms of temp control and speed. When I'm spending my employer's money the choice is easy. When someone who is working with a $10 iron asks what to buy it's hard to suggest a $250 iron and even a $100 iron sounds like a lot. Still, I will probably give more consideration to the integrated tip models vs the 936 clones as it looks like the prices have come down a good bit.

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.
If we're going off-topic with iron comparisons, I bought a Metcal from another deal site years ago and it was positively light-years ahead of anything else I'd used in user experience (~$200). The tips have to be swapped for temp control, but I've found few cases I needed to change temperatures multiple times in a single session as a hobbyist. It was stolen, and I started just using my butane torch iron - looking out for new options since I can't find a cheap Metcal of that class (now $400+). I recently bought a Pinecil (thanks Slickdeals), and it's neat, but not a replacement for a good workstation set.

Ts100, t12 ksger, or pinecil will be miles better than this at a cheaper price.
