Highlights
Quality
Product works as expected and hopefully it will work for many more years
Still works great with the original tips
I began to question the quality of my solder joints as the shineluster was not perfect and the solder did not flow as well as desired
I did so to achieve higher quality consistent results in the assembly of our products
Price
A true profession iron at reasonable price
This is a tried and true tool for soldering at a very reasonable price
Packaging/appearance
Some parts of the wtcpt are similar or identical to the wes51 the iron standsimilar the nut and barrel on the ironhandpiece and the sponge
The reason i am taking off one star is the current physical packaging
Competitiveness
Better than the tc thermocouple types because the tips cost one tenth of the price
I like the automatic heat regulation and a variety of tips are available at a reasonable price
Even fixed a piece of my wifes jewelry
The handpieceor pencil is much larger than the handpiece of the wes51 i prefer the smaller size handpiece
