Customer Rating:
Summary: Adequate for non-critical soldering work
Comment: I have had one of these for years. While it is a decent little unit for simple kit building and the like, it's not the best choice for jobs where temperature control is important. Although it has a rheostat for adjusting temperature, it's not a true temperature-controlled soldering station and the tip temperature will run away if the hand piece is left unused in it's holder for too long, causing the tinning to oxidize. This means that you will be constantly re-tinning your tip, which gets frustrating after a while.

I would consider this an entry-level unit; if you're just starting out and aren't sure if you're really serious about electronics work, it's not a bad choice. If you're already serious, then you'll want to look for something better. Alas, this means an proportionally higher price, but you do get what you pay for.

Summary: Standard of the Industry
Comment: The Weller WLC100 Soldering Station For Hobbyist And Do-It-Yourselfer
is just what it advertises itself to be; an extremely functional tool with variable heat settings and ease of operation. I would highly recommend it to the professional as well as the hobbyist. Weller has long been a trusted name in the industry and the WLC100 has confirmed my trust in their products.

Summary: Exactly what it says it is.
Comment: I use a Weller WES51 Weller WES51 Analog Soldering Station, Power Unit, Soldering Pencil, Stand and Sponge at work doing work on circuit boards. I've got probably 24 hours of use on the WES51 so far. I bought the WLC100 for use at home on hobby and DIY work because it is half the price of the WES51. The biggest differences I have seen being: The WLC100 takes MUCH longer to reach operating temperature(but the WES51 only takes 20-30 seconds) and doesn't have the same ability to hold operating temperature when doing large joints. With that said, it's as solid a unit as I've used besides my WES51 and can get every job done that should be needed by a hobbyist. If you are planning to use this for long periods of professional work, I suggest going stepping up, but for smaller jobs this is the station to get.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Product
Comment: This soldering iron answers many of my needs: 1.Heat range is fully adjustable 2.Has a holder to safely place the iron when not immediately in use 3.Iron heats up quickly 4.Tips are replacable 5.Good value.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor Customer Relations
Comment: I purchased a Weller WLC100 from Glass Crafters. The iron was defective so I returned it for a refund. I can't comment on the iron, I probably just got a lemon but I can comment on how poor the customer service is at Glass Crafters. My credit card company is now helping me get a refund after I got nowhere after numerous calls to the company.
