    Awesome Weller Soldering Gun Kit!

    I have done and still do a fair amount of soldering. Weller Soldering Guns and Irons have always helped me get the job done very. They tin and stay tinned very well and are easy to wire wheel off to clean. This Gun looks just like a 30 year old Weller Soldering Gun that, I think is 400 Watts and 260 Watts. This Gun has worked very well for soldering Speaker Wiring and Automotive Wiring, where the wires are a little heavier gauge than very small electronics. This Gun is highly recommended and an excellent value! I should last for many years to come, just like older Weller Soldering products I have that still function as well as the day they were purchased. Thank you!

    This Particular Soldering Gun

    This particular one is no good, as soon as you plug it in it was on. The trigger did not work like it was suppose to. I laid it on the cement in my garage so it wouldn't burn anything and the inside pieces started burning the inside plastic on the side. I unplugged it. I had to pick it up real quick to keep the plastic from melting This Item was bought used, they did say it was checked, however I believe someone skipped this one. The trigger felt like it was suppose to, but it did not work. I had one like this several years ago and it broke and I got rid of it. I now need one, so I guess I will buy a new one this time.

  • Design change but product works.

    The only thing I disliked about this product is even though the model number has not changed, the design of the tip mount has changed, so all my old D550 spare tips have to have the ends bent and the old nut type mount removed, at which time the tip can be inserted into the gun and works well. I am assuming that the reason that they changed the mounting type is it makes a better heat transfer connection, but then again, maybe Weller got cheap.

  • When you're dealing with large surface joints, this is the right tool for the job.

    If you have to solder something where there is more then a dime sized surface area, this is the right tool. A small component iron will not generate enough heat, this is the purpose of the Weller 200 Watt Iron. My dad had one of these I used throughout my teen years and was tough as nails.

  • Enables restoration of vintage Radio Equipment!

    I restore vintage tube radio equipment and the Weller D550PK is the perfect heavy duty soldering iron for these types of equipment. Newer, smaller and less powerful soldering irons just don’t have the heat to for properly attaching grounding lugs to a steel chassis. This Weller D550PK is ideal for the job. Great American product!

  • Nice High Wattage Soldering Gun

    I wouldn't recommend the newer style having to use a screwdriver to tighten the solder tip but the old style that must use the wrench to tighten the solder tip is the way to go. Just make sure that you are using the old style and you are good to go!

  • Weller Guns are Great!

    The D-550 rated at 240/325 watts is a heavy duty workhorse, not to be confused with the newer D-550 rated at 200/260 watts. The older D-550 has a Bakelite case and you can run it until its too hot to handle. The newer lower rated model has a thermoplastic case and any sustained use will melt and deform the case. The newer gun also has aluminum barrels versus the copper clad steel barrels of the older unit. That older D-550 will solder and unsolder to steel chassis with relative ease. I've also heard that it worksk well when soldering stained glass windows. It is a gentle giant that while able to solder large objects, will not overheat and burn up smaller objects, so it will also work well for soldering automotive and electrical wire, although it is overkill for that use. If all you need to solder is lighter jobs such as wiring, or radio work, you might want to consider the Weller 8200, the lighter sibling of the D-550, rated at 100/140 watts. Again you want the older model with the nuts that screw in the end of the barrel to secure the tip. Newer versions also have the thermoplastic case, aluminum barrels, and screws that clamp the tip from the side instead of screwing in the ends of the barrel. You will find that Weller soldering guns are almost indestructible, but can succumb to physical abuse such as dropping, I also bought one that was completely burned up. That is rare. Usually, if the case is intact, and the gun will respond when the trigger is pulled, the most that is needed is a new tip and maybe a new light bulb. More frequently the tip needs cleaning and the bulb needs to be screwed in or pressed in. Lightly sand papering the ends of the tip where they are clamped is usually all that is needed to get the tip heating like new. Tips can be badly corroded or worn and the best fix there is a new tip; As noted, these are excellent soldering guns and if you do any soldering they will give long and faithful service with only a modicum of care.

  • Excellent soldering gun

    I needed a heavy duty gun to handle heavy duty soldering. I had one of these before and it would solder about anything. This was to replace that one. When you need lots of heat to burn it in, this will do it.

  • Vintage Functioning Classic Soldering Gun

    I purchased a new soldering iron that I was not happy with (everything is made in China today, not the best quality) so I decided to search for a vintage Weller (proudly made in the U.S.A. back in the day) because some of these see forty years of service. I'm doing vintage electronic repairs and I love this Weller soldering gun. Works great, solid construction with lights that makes seeing in tight spots easier when soldering. Highly recommend.
