The Weller WPS18MP heats from room temperature to 900ºF in just 35 seconds... three times faster than a standard home/hobbyist soldering iron. So there’s less time spent waiting for the iron to get up to temperature. People who do a lot of soldering really like that.

In an industry-standard test, the Weller WPS18MP melted six solder joints in 324 seconds, compared to 977 seconds for a typical home/hobbyist iron. Three times faster again. Most people don’t race against the clock melting solder joints, but you get the idea. And again, people who do a lot of soldering really like that. The Weller WPS-18-MP has a lot of other cool features, too. Like a red LED power-on indicator that turns green when their on is up to temperature (Look quick –it won’t stay red very long). Plus another LED... a bright white one that shines right on the work. With these and many more handy features, we think this iron is fully deserving of the Pro Series designation.

The basic design of the Weller WPS18 MP High Performance Soldering Iron is what makes it better. By utilizing patented power supply electronics combined with specially constructed tips, the 18-watt Weller WPS 18 MP delivers performance equivalent to that of atypical 60-watt iron. But the most dramatic difference is in the time required to go from a cold iron to working temperature.
