Title: Weller D550PK the gun that does'nt fire.
Review: I had to purchase this item from America because it is not available in the U.K.for some unknown reason. When i switched it on nothing happened, no light's and no heat. I debated whether to return the item or open it up to see if i could locate the fault, i decided to open it up. The fault was on the enamelled copper wires from the field coil, the enamel had not been removed hence the solder had not taken to the copper wire. I cleaned and re-soldered the wire's and the unit works perfectly now. Does WELLER not employ quality control? This is the second Weller soldering gun i have purchased from the U.S.A. in the past 12 months and the first one did not work either, it went into the dust bin.
Is the review positive or negative?
