The tool is also useful for cable assembly and working on indoor lighting, and it's ideal for use in educational and training settings.
- Acceptable: The following are acceptable uses of the WE 1010, and while these options aren't as ideal for this system as the recommended applications, it can still produce satisfactory results. You can use this tool for small appliances, small engines, electrical projects and audio systems. It's also useful for hobby models and crafts, especially if you're looking for the best affordable soldering station that still provides a considerable amount of power and number of features.
- Not recommend: We do not recommend using this product for micro-components, metal art, jewelry, heat sinks, ground planes or automotive or marine work.
The WE 1010 soldering station includes the following features and benefits:
- 70W power station: WE1010NA features a 70-watt (W) power station that gives you the power you need to consistently produce high-quality results. The power station is 40 percent more powerful than the WES / WESD station, making it a substantial upgrade. This increased power heats up the iron faster and also provides faster recovery time, which enables you to work more efficiently and precisely.
- 70W soldering iron: The other primary component of WE 1010 is the 70 Watt soldering iron. This powerful tool is capable of reaching high temperatures but is also lightweight, allowing for increased control over your work. It's designed in the soldering pencil style and enables highly precise soldering.
- Toolless tip change: The soldering iron also makes it easy to change tips. You don't even need any additional tools to do so. You can quickly change out hot tips by turning the plastic knurled nut located on the soldering pencil by hand. This process further increases efficiency and can reduce the time it takes to complete a job.
The collection of technical specifications that the WE1010NA offers is a huge part of what makes it such as powerful soldering solution. Its specs are as follows:
- Power supply of 120 Volts (V): The system's power supply equals 120V or 60 Hertz (Hz). The low voltage 120V soldering iron system increases safety and reliability while providing the power needed to get the job done.
- 70W power: The soldering iron wattage of this unit is 70 watts, giving you enough power to consistently provide high-quality results.
- Dimensions of 5.91 L x 4.72 W x 3.86 H inches: The dimensions of the unit are 5.91 inches lengthwise by 4.72 inches widthwise by 3.86 inches heightwise. They're equal to 150 millimeters (mm) lengthwise by 120 mm widthwise by 98 mm heightwise. This relatively small footprint can help you keep your workplace uncluttered so that you can work more efficiently and safely.
- Weight at approximately three pounds: The WE 1010 weighs just over three pounds, or approximately 1.4 kilograms (kg), making it easy to handle.
- Temperature range of 200 to 850 degrees Fahrenheit (°F): Depending on the tool, the device can operate at between 200 and 850 °F, or 100 to 450 °C. This wide range of temperatures gives you the ability to precisely and reliably complete a wide range of jobs.
- Temperature accuracy of plus or minus (+/-) nine degrees Fahrenheit at idle with no load: You can offset the average tip temperature to +/- 9 °F, or +/- 5 °C, at idle with no load.
- Temperature stability at +/- 10 °F: The WE 1010 soldering station offers excellent temperature stability at +/- 10 °F, or +/- 6 °C, which enables you to create reliable, precise results from solder joint to solder joint.
- Approximate heating time: 28 Seconds From 120 to 660 °F. WE1010NA offers an approximate heating time of 28 seconds from 120 to 660 °F, or 50 to 350 °C. This speed helps you to complete projects more efficiently.
