I never liked Weller. Never could get a tip to last a week.

It all depends on whether you use genuine Weller tips or not and the
solder you use.

As of the last time I had to use a Weller, I didn't know anyone else made
tips for them. The replacements I was installing came out of Weller
shrink packaging.

Always had good solder at the places I've worked; for some reason, no one
ever cheaped out on solder.
