Hey I have a Weller (wp40p) and can't find tips for it anywhere. Can someone give me a link??
Thanks

I also have a Weller and cant find any tips for it. Since Mike recommended the Hakko and with Papa and Hotncold's testimonies, I dont see any reason why we should not get one. Starting today, I'll save some money and ask Mike to send me one. No more 5-7 dollars irons. That's for sure.

I have a 12 dollar 100w iron from radioshack that works fine for me.

the same one with green flames?....can you link me to the tips you got..did they come with it or did you add to your order?

I ordered from here to get free shipping and just bought a few different tips, knife etc and a spare sponge to make it up to the $100...

I think Amain has a $10 coupon on for $100... So it is a toss up of free shipping vs wrap kit - I'm more of a function over form chap...

PS I think the HMC is the 12 vs the amain the 8

I had a bunch or AMain dollars getting ready to expire, so I splurged and got one - the blue flames. Extra tips too. I also bought Hakko's heat gun - wife's tired of me constantly borrowing hers. Haven't used either yet - we had a hurricane and its been kinda distracting!

I bought one, I have to buy locally so I get a 240v one but they haven't charged me yet so I don't know what's happening. I really want it so I can solder up those new ec5 plugs to my monster max when it comes (should be here soon as it was shipped almost 2 weeks ago) and I have a sidewinder the will need to be soldered up too but I bet the hakko is going to be the last thing to turn up.

Has anyone tried both the medium and large iron. How much difference is there between the two? I couldn't find anyone selling the 936 here with the large iron and the large iron by itself costs as much as the whole kit.

Done.
 
Thanks guys for the help. After reading through this thread and knowing that I needed a good soldering station I used the links provided by you and bought the one with the red flame kit. I also purchased the off road wheel balancing kit so I can begin balancing my new Axial beadlock wheels and Mulcher tires. It is nice to have so much help in finding the things that we need right here on RCM:yipi::yes:. More money spent......:lol:
