Weller Wps18Mp High-Performance Soldering Iron.

36:T4df,I'm pretty lazy when it comes to reviewing stuff, but this soldering iron is SO GOOD I feel like keeping it to myself is pure evil.Background: I recently got into electric guitars, and wanted to modify them a bit. Every guitar how-to guide emphasis a good iron. I obviously dismissed that at first and bought the Vastar all-in-one kit that shows up as the first hit when you search for "soldering iron" on amazon. Big mistake. The thing melted (yes, MELTED) within the first 2 hours of use. I burned my parts and myself and swore to god I will always bring my guitar to a tech now.That didn't last long.A few weeks later I, once again, felt an itch to customize my guitars, and so I looked for a new iron. This one seemed new with exciting features, and it wasn't overly expensive. Other Weller irons all get great reviews - I assumed this hasn't yet because of how new it is. I bought it anyway.I'm so glad I did. The iron heats up REALLY fast - exactly as advertised, and the best thing is that it has a light that tells you when it's hot enough. Light turns green, boom, go in, solder, turn it off, put stuff that needs soldering together, turn it on, light is red, 30 seconds, light turns green, older, repeat.No complaints whatsoever. Buy it!37:T4e7,Soldered a few joints with this iron on a project not long after receiving it from Amazon. I definitely can recommend as I am well pleased with it's performance. The unique plug-in tip tinned and wetted solder readily. The short warm up time is impressive and in line with manufacturer's specification. I'm not totaly convinced this iron has all the power output of a 60 watt unit as the manufacturer claims, but it's at least equal to say a forty watt. That's not bad for the price, and be assured you'll have plenty of heat to flow most any joint nicely. Because of the 18 watt DC power
