Review of Weller WESD51 Digital Soldering Station with Power Unit, Soldering Pencil, Stand, Sponge

The Weller WESD51 is an excellent low cost soldering iron for the lab technician or hobbyist.The key benefit is the ability to accurately control and monitor the tip temperature.This allows using the lowest possible temperature setting (675° - 725°) which prolongs tip life and prevents component damage.

It can handle a wide range of tasks from very small SMD components to large ground connections.The silicone rubber cord resists high temperatures should the tip accidentally come in contact.I have one on my lab bench at work and liked it so much I bought one for my home workbench.

• Adjustable temperature controls; quick heat-up and recovery times

Digital Electronic Temperature Control for Better Performance
No matter what your soldering job is, the WESD51's digital electronic control system lets you easily set the temperature you need to get the job done right. The soldering temperature is adjustable from 350 to 850 degrees Fahrenheit and is accurately measured to within nine degrees. Additionally, the temperature can be viewed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius on the LCD (liquid-crystal display). And the WESD51's innovative built-in heater and sensor combination offers quick heat-up times and temperature recovery for better heat control over the course of your job.
The WESD51's wireless temperature lockout prevents you from raising the temperature beyond what is recommended for your workpiece, board, or component. This eliminates the possibility of damaging components by accidentally setting the temperature too high for the job.
Comfortable, Easy-to-Use Soldering Pencil
The kit's PES51 Soldering Pencil features a durable Nichrome-wound stainless steel heating element for long life and quick response time. Stainless steel will not corrode at high temperatures, meaning you can use this durable pencil for a long time to come. An added bonus, the PES51 Soldering Pencil is compatible with Weller ET series tips.
The PES51 also features a non-burning silicone rubber cord, a lightweight handle made from high-impact ESD (electro-static discharge) plastic, and a foam sleeve that allows for continuous use without fatigue or heat discomfort.

Wireless temperature lockout enhances your work's precision.Innovative Features Improve Safety and Durability
The WESD51 Soldering Station meets Weller's high standards of quality and safety. The station will automatically shut off power to the tool after 99 minutes of inactivity, which helps to conserve electricity and extends the life of the tool. The easy-to-read LCD (liquid-crystal display) lets you know what mode the WESD51 is in, and it lets you know what the temperature is. This way, you can easily see if the temperature is locked or unlocked, and whether or not the unit is turned on.
The Weller WESD51 Soldering station is UL/CUL listed, which means that it meets or exceeds independent safety standards. The PES51 Soldering Pencil is designed to be used in electrostatic-free workstations, and, for added safety, it is completely free of stored static charges. The WESD51 Soldering Station is backed by a one-year warranty.
