Pros & Cons
Pros
Works great for soldering electronic circuits that are both temperature sensitive and subject to damage from static. Enough choices in tip sizes and temperatures to handle everything from big connectors to surface mount parts. Great value for the mone... Read More
Cons
Now i have to remove the tip and clean the base before it gets hot enough to melt the solder. Not thick but thin solder, (.
Highlights

I've been using a cheap radio shack 35w iron for years.
Price
If you are just learning low power voltage as a trade or its part of your job currently this is an awesome buy for the money.
I always knew it was cheap, but couldn't justify the cost of a quality one.
Such irons can usually be had for as little as $10.
I just assembled a $3000 tube amplifier and speaker kit.
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was insufficient, and the item delivered was misaligned.
I thing it should had been package better.
For the money i spent a extra tip or better packing from the factory would be nice.
Competitiveness
More specifically, the w60p3 allows you to choose 600f, 700f, or 800f tips.
I'll do a quick comparison for those who may not be familiar with how different types of 120v portable soldering irons work.
I had put off spending the money for a new weller and had purchased some cheap knock-offs.
