    This thing is an old style gun for work on large wires. If you're doing any kind of reasonably precision work you should pickup either a station or pinecil. I use my pinecil regularly and its far more convenient than this behemoth.

    Oh for crying out loud, no reason to gatekeep over a freakin' SOLDERING IRON. Get over yourself.

    It's a fair question for someone to ask, and the only way they're going to learn is by asking.

    Hey, ignore the other person who replied to you who's trying to gatekeep a freakin' soldering iron. Your question is fair and valid.

    The ryobi is nice if you're doing very light duty work that's not temperature sensitive. Think soldering speaker wires together. I wouldn't use it on a circuit board extensively, as it doesn't have that granular levels of temp control, but you could use it for larger through-hole components like resistors and whatnot. Like I said, not my first choice. I'd probably go with the Pinecil soldering iron as a starter iron for circuit board work.

    The Weller gun is nice for larger, chonky wires -- like extension cord thicknesses. It's a very hot iron at 260w/200w, and has virtually no temp control. It's like taking a torch to something. And sometimes, you need that ability to dump a LOT of heat into something quickly. I wouldn't take this thing anywhere near a circuit board.

    Good designs never change. Still have one that I bought at a pawn shop 40 years ago! Use it about once a year for soldering larger wires.

    I bought a modern pen style for under 20 bucks with an adjustable temp knob to upgrade my cheap one from the 80s, the new one gets hot so fast.

    What situation when I would need this soldering "gun" instead of just a regular soldering "non-gun?"

    When you look at uses for a soldering gun like this sometimes you think outside the box...these are perfect for "welding" plastics as well...cracked tanks or even body plastics can be fused with these.

    Quote from ThinksTooMuch :
    Seems overkill for once a year usage. I mean outside of basic 110/220V electric cords, I can't imagine using something this large - today's tiny electronics would make this seem rather unwieldy, IMHO.
    If you need a tool, there is no choice. You can't borrow these from Autozone. You either get the tool or you pay someone else to do it.

    This is for large conductors and/or in open environments where wind is blowing. Those 30 and 40 watt pens would never heat both sides of the conductor at the same time, and you'd get cold joints. The tool that can do some of what this gun can, albeit in a far less controlled way, is a torch.

    Larger conductors and/or a windy space. For benchtop electronics, you get the pen. If you are building trailers in an open shop, you get the gun.

    Quote from Selman :
    With all due respect, if you are asking this, you are not ready to buy either. They are radically different tools for different jobs. It is application dependent on what one should buy. My best advice is to evaluate the scenarios you envision using it in, and then look at a buying guide to learn more. Most people would want a pen similar to the Ryobi one, but I'd probably recommend a Weller over the Ryobi unless you must be portable for some reason.

    Not to deter from this post but in a normal use of a soldering iron, you should also consider how hot you want to get things. Soldering irons come in a range, including this soldering gun, to meet specific uses. Too large of any of these, including a soldering iron, will ruin small components.
