Review on 🔌 40 Watt Weller WLC100 Soldering Station by Chris Barreto

I bought these thinking I would get good results if I bought a well known brand. I used this on 10 gauge wire first. I had a hell of a time to heat the wire just enough to get the solder into the connections and I ended up just melting it onto the wire and then around which made a crappy connection. I assumed this was because it was 10 gauge wire and thicker, had a large heatsink and was time consuming. Problem. It took me a good 10 minutes for the solder to melt on and around the wire without properly heating anything at all. Then I used a cheap crappy $5 soldering iron and it worked in 30 seconds. I've plugged this soldering iron into different sockets to make sure it's a socket, the sockets are on different breakers and it still doesn't get hot enough to burn my hand anywhere on the sting. There is nothing more annoying than buying a tool that doesn't work and if I don't get a refund after 30 days I will never buy a Weller product again. It's annoying when you have everything ready to hook something up to your car on a Friday night and there's literally nothing you can do because that dumb tool you spent decent money on can't even do anything. That's how my weekend went. And their website doesn't let me send them anything to see if they can help me at all, so I think I screwed up.
