Just plain simple trashy, not what you would expect from Weller.

I hope somebody at Weller get's shot for putting these on the market,
and they go back to making first rate products!

Roger,

Are you sure that is was not someone's knockoff with a similar spelling

like 'Weler' or 'Wellar'? I went to the Weller web site and could not
find anything on WHS.

Probably slow at updating the website.

I have used stations over the years, but after using the one at work, all
the other irons feel like holding a baseball bat to solder. A nice thin
iron is much better, and that one is also the most powerfull iron I
have used for electronic soldering. I may just buy an iron and
make another simple temperature controller for it. Its like this....
