Description of ๐Ÿ”ง Efficient Soldering with Weller 9400PKS Universal Soldering Lighting: A Versatile Solution

6-Second heat up means your tip is ready for solder almost immediately, no waiting. 3 built in LEDs provide a spotlight on your project and help eliminate tip shadow. The two trigger positions control power at high to medium head up to 900 ยฐF. The co-molded perfect fit pistol grip features a soft, non-slip grip and great ergonomic feel. Weller 7-year warranty, another reason to trust a great legacy brand.

Let's be polite: Brazing and soldering gear

Let's be polite: This is an "amateur" pistol at best. My old Weller pistol of the same power is dead for good. The new pistol is MUCH less useful. The online description of the gun states that the heat-up time is six seconds. Mine takes 15 to 20. The gun packaging says the gun should cool for five minutes after 30 seconds of operation. This limit also applies automatically to my pistol: If you continue to use the pistol without a cooling phase, the pistol body will become very hot. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Two trigger positions adjust power from high to medium thrust up to 900ยฐF
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Defective heating coil Blown circuit breakers

Used product for a week for about 3 weeks of purchase. The trigger got stuck in the on position multiple times - I had to press it multiple times to release it. To make sure the gun worked again, I broke the chains immediately after pressing the button. A burn through on the heating coil is visible when viewed from the inside (see photo). This item has only been used for a week and has been used properly according to the instructions.

Pros
  • 6 second warm-up means your handpiece is ready to solder almost immediately, no waiting
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Bad buy soldering and soldering accessories

I should have read the reviews first. As someone else said, this gun is nothing more than a hobby. I only bought it spontaneously because of the name Weller. Heats it up in six seconds as has been said - NO. Also, nobody sells hints for what's okay because the hints are crap. I used this gun once and the tip broke so I ordered new tips from Revain. They don't sell them. The tips are round like a coat hanger, they just burn out after an hour of use. They are inserted and fastened with small grub

Pros
  • 3 built-in LEDs illuminate your project and help eliminate tip shadows
Cons
  • Concise instructions
