Review on Weller PTCC8 Sloped 800° Black by Justin Pavelko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

800 solder joints is better than 700.

I have had a WTCP soldering station for many years. I never liked him as much as my pace at work. I wondered why. Turns out I always ran PACE at 775 degrees and Weller had a 700 degree peak. I changed the tip to 800 degrees and soldering was a joy again. No more tipping the connection until the surrounding plastic melts before the solder melts.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
