  Caution: changes in kit September 7, 2008
Caution to buyers: Weller (Cooper) has changed the contents of the kit. The product description says that the gun has dual lights - it doesn't, it has one bulb - and that the 8200PK kit contains a flux brush and a soldering aid tool: it doesn't have these in it at present. Obviously Cooper wanted to cost-reduce the contents but did not update the description vendors use. Tonight I shopped at three retailers and at every one the kit did not have the full claimed contents. One other problem: just try finding a retailer who carries the tips in stock. Fry's, Home Depot, Loewes did not. Only Orchard Supply in the SF Bay Area actually had them. Aside from this, the gun is functionally a good one and I have always been fond of Weller guns and will continue to buy them.
 great tool August 8, 2008
use it all the time, came quick. Lives up to the
Weller name
Does the job well! July 8, 2008
I had a few small soldering projects to do around the house, and this certainly fit the bill. Having never soldered before, it was quite clear on what to do via the enclosed instructions, and the "kit" was full of what you need for smaller projects.
It gets my vote!

I bought it at HD to replace my old soldering iron. What a stupid design ?! It has two positions for the trigger: max and medium heat and you have to have YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER ALL THE TIME, otherwise it shuts off! It's probably OK for some quick and dirty type of work, but I found it very akward to use for soldering. I am taking it back and will think twice about purchasing Weller products in the future.
