Product Description
Product Description
Weller's high performance consumer soldering iron with the latest LED technology. Delivers light to the application while working.
Amazon.com
High-performance LED soldering iron (view larger).
Delivering the ultimate soldering experience, the Weller SP40NKUS Soldering Iron Kit includes the SP40N co-molded hand soldering iron with three built-in LEDs for superior accuracy and application illumination. This medium duty iron produces 40 watts (up to 900 degrees F) for joining 12 AWG wire or smaller. It's ideal for use on electrical/electronic components, audio equip., RC hobbies, and more.
A round, soft grip, non-slip handle design helps relax the hand during extended use, and it easily provides a mechanism to roll and position the tip for application needs. A triangular front housing contains the high temperature long-life LEDs, which produce 25 lumens of light. Once the tip position is determined, the hand naturally gravitates to the triangular area to provide a more stable and effective way to control the tip position. It features a stainless steel heater construction, easily tip changes, and a durable cord with a 5-foot reach. This soldering iron is backed by a 7-year limited warranty.
What's in the Box
SP40NKUS iron, MT10, 6mm tip, iron stand, soldering aid tool, lead-free solder, spare ST3 (3.2mm) and ST7 (0.8mm) tips, operating instructions

- Affordable
- LEDs to help see what you are soldering
- Usual multiple set of different tips
- Easy to set up
Cons:
- Feels cheap
- No temperature control (when it's on, it's on)
- Stand is a literally piece of bent metal (22 ga. steel I think) and makes iron not truly stable.
(Has fallen several times now and burned a few things)
If this is your first soldering iron, you won't be upset. Or if you need an affordable one that you might use once or twice a year. The LEDs are a little bit of a gimmick, but I honestly wished more irons had them. That being said, it should not be used for extensive amounts of time and an additional stand should be used if you plan on doing so.
Recommended:
Beginners, or the Occasional Intermediate use.
(Keep in mind lack of temp. control and feeling cheap. It "gets the job done".)
The one thing I will note is that the entire tip can and will hold solder. If you notice that the tip looks fat and you have no ball of solder, it has spread all the way around the tip and its time to clean it, flux dip, and then let it sit for a while to burn a little and oxidize behind the flux, so that it stops sucking solder all the way up.
The LEDs are very useful when soldering in not-ideal amounts of light. I often use them to inspect my joint, as my head is usually in the way of my light source.
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2019
So, don't use the solder that comes with this kit or else you will destroy your tip within minutes. If you must use lead free solder, then you may not want to get this iron or get a different tip that is more lead free solder friendly.
I am taking 2 stars off for my 2 days wasted trying to figure this out. If it didn't come with that lead free solder, I would have been better off.
