Review on Weller ETA ETO Combo Pack by Chris Owens

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fake China or B-stock?

Hard to believe that this is a Weller original. It's either fake, or some serious class B stock, or I've got a bad bunch. The attached photos show the difference between the original Weller ETA and what I received in this package; The one in this combo pack is wider and has this horrible bump on the end and also the lettering looks different for what it's worth (maybe they changed it over time so who knows). And the ETO tip, the workmanship/finish is terrible, very rough, useless thing, only the soldering sponge broke. Very disappointed, avoid this product.

Pros
  • Compatible soldering station: WES-51
Cons
  • Weight
