A breakthrough in soldering technology.

More efficient. Less time-consuming. Somewhere, Carl Weller is smiling.
Carl Weller was not a patient man. That’s why he invented the quick-heating soldering gun more than 60 years ago and spent his life improving on his original design. Today, the brand that bears his name continues to stand for state-of-the-art soldering products. The new WPS18MP High Performance Soldering Iron is no exception.
The basic design of the WPS18MP High Performance Soldering Iron is what makes it better. By utilizing patented power supply electronics combined with specially constructed tips, the 18-watt WPS18MP delivers performance equivalent to that of a typical 60-watt iron. But the most dramatic difference is in the time required to go from a cold iron to working temperature.
To 900ºF in 35 seconds...
The WPS18MP heats from room temperature to 900ºF in just 35 seconds… three times faster than a standard home/hobbyist soldering iron. So there’s less time spent waiting for the iron to get up to temperature. People who do a lot of soldering really like that.
Six solder joints in 324 seconds...
OK, we’re getting technical here, but it’s important. In an industrystandard test, the WPS18MP melted six solder joints in 324 seconds, compared to 977 seconds for a typical home/hobbyist iron. Three times faster again. Most people don’t race against the clock melting solder joints, but you get the idea. And again, people who do a lot of soldering really like that. The WPS18MP has a lot of other cool features, too. Like a red LED power-on indicator that turns green when the iron is up to temperature (Look quick – it won’t stay red very long). Plus another LED…a bright white one that shines right on the work. With these and many more handy features, we think this iron is fully deserving of the Pro Series designation. But don’t take our word for it. See for yourself…

Features and benefits:
• Breakthrough heat-up performance – heats up to working temperature in just 35 seconds
• Patented design provides temperature recovery that exceeds that of a 60 watt iron
• Red power-on LED changes to green when iron reaches working temperature
• Bright white LED illuminates work area
• Tip is elevated when tool is placed flat on work surface – no stand is needed
• Tips use a modular plug for easy tip exchange
• Ideal for electronics hobbies such as PC modding, PCB work, audio/visual, and RC kits
• Develops 900ºF (482ºC)
