I bought this iron to use as a method of testing an AC power supply. It worked fine for my tests. I could have bought an iron cheaper that would have done what I needed but this one will work in my shop so I get a 2-fer from it. Being able to change tips is a nice feature. The quality is much better than cheaper irons. All in All, it's a good choice if your looking for something to use in your shop for occasional use. Works well for what it's designed.

Within 1 hour of using this 40w iron, the tip's coating heated up and came off, making it unsafe for soldering. Had to buy more tips for another $11, which makes this iron purchase a bust as a value. Also, the only tip that I can find is a screwdriver like 1/4" straight tip. Trying to contact Weller is next to impossible. If I had to do it over again, I'd buy the 25w with the different tips in the package. Replacement tips for that iron are also much cheaper and come with different points.

I like how fast it heats up. It is easy to grip and hold compared to some more in expensive ones. The metal rest to me is useless .So far I like it. I did order some different tips as this one is not for smaller electronic work

This model works fine for occasional use. Pros: Good price Well made Works fine Cons: The standard tip is flat and not suited for electronic work. You need to purchase another tip The built in lights are really not that bright

Barely had time or opportunity to try it. fast heat up. Very fat tip. don't know what replacements available. balance not what I'm used to. My shaky hands means it's hard to do delicate work.
