What Customers Say About Weller WESD51 Digital Soldering Station with Power Unit, Soldering Pencil, Stand, Sponge:

Maybe you need to clean & re-tin the tip more often. Some have complained that they received units that didn't work out of the box. Maybe the tip needs replacing. You won't be disappointed.

After completing a long project I was very happy I spent the few extra bucks. The digital temperature readout is extremely convenient and helpful in letting you know not only when the tip is at temp but also how efficiently it's heating as you work. This is a bit of a pain in the butt and they're right "it shouldn't happen", but that's what the warranty is for. It shows you how well the tip is heating in real time. It heats up fast & has plenty of wattage for any board type repair. Some who are considering the purchase of the analog version WES-51 instead of the WESD-51 to save a few bucks should reconsider. If the tip is not heating as quickly as it should, you see it. This feature lets you know & improves your technique without having to put much thought into it.

My advice would be to shop around for a good price and go for it. This station works great. This tip temperature monitoring addition is not just a 'kind of cool' feature but very valuable. I chose the WES'D' version because I thought the feature was cool.

what has happened to you. The tip wouldn't heat, and the displayed temperature was way off.Very disappointing. When I plugged it in, meaning to do a little work, I found that the unit was dead. This DOA unit doesn't even have a front panel that fits (i.e., doesn't have a corner that sinks in when you press on it)Weller. I bought a WESD51 station just over a month ago, and unpacked it. I did not actually try to use it until today due to a bunch of unrelated issues. the Weller units of yesteryear were reliable.

Not an issue for my DIY Audio projects. The De facto soldering tip may need to be swapped out for a different one that suites your work.After five minutes with the iron, and I don't know how I managed with the clumsy stiff corded, fixed watt wands. The combination makes for a tool that doesn't strain the user, when working "almost" any length of time. It is not a do it ALL iron, if the surfaces are to big for the unit to heat up. The WESD51 seams like a very nice soldering iron. The iron is very light, nicely padded grip, with a very flexible cord. The adjustable regulated temperature alone is priceless, however this is only a 50watt unit.

Power, precise temperature and ease of opperation.I have been trying to solder for more than 50 years and this machine makes it easy and reliable.

Great working iron to use on almost any project. Maintains a very constant temperature to tip.
