Weller Profikit 200 (SG51/7)

Over the past year (2025), we have received a huge number of complaints about Weller soldering irons.

• Cooper Tools (Weller's parent company) moved production to Mexico, and that is when the complaints started.
• As we do not currently stand behind the quality of Weller products, we have (temporarily?) stopped purchasing them.
• As soon as we receive confirmation that the problems have been resolved, we will resume purchasing Weller soldering irons.

For the last 30 years, Weller has been the best electric soldering iron for stained glass and Tiffany. If you have a good old soldering iron, don't worry, we will continue to stock soldering tips. (Unfortunately, this does not include the SG51 for the Weller 200 Watt).

Which soldering iron should I buy now?

· Are you looking for an affordable, high-quality soldering iron? Then we recommend the Startec.

· Would you like a hammer model (for an ergonomic working position when working with stained glass)? Then we recommend the IFA 180 Watt.

· But the very best quality soldering iron for stained glass and Tiffany is the HAKKO FX601.

Professional stained glass soldering iron

This is the best electric soldering iron for stained glass in the market, thanks to the hammer tip you work with a straight back (ergonomic working position) and you don't get back problems even after a whole day at the setting table.

Weller soldering tip SG51 #7 is included as standard

• Working temperature: approx. 340ºC
• Standby temperature: 370ºC
• You have to work faster with this marker, the lead will melt quickly, so be careful not to press through the lead. The solder points look nice and flowing.
• We recommend this pen in combination with a power controller.
• Suitable for starters and advanced users

Negative point: the SG51/7 soldering tip cannot be ordered separately. So be very careful with the soldering tip and clean it with salmiac or tip activator after each use. (You should never sand, grind or brush the marker)
