Weller D550 Soldering Gun

The art of hand soldering has been around for thousands of years, but it was not until 1941 that an impatient American radio repairman, tired of waiting for his soldering gun to heat up, developed a transformer-based instant heating soldering method. This innovation paved the way for the establishment of the Weller Manufacturing Company, which was founded by Carl E. Weller after the end of World War II in 1945.

In 1960, the Weller Manufacturing Co. in the US patented the "Magnastst" soldering iron, which used a magnetic component to regulate the temperature at the iron's tip. Expanding its operations overseas starting in 1959, the Weller GmbH plant in Besigheim, Germany, along with new plants in other countries, began manufacturing temperature-controlled irons and soldering guns primarily for industrial markets throughout Europe and the Near East.

As the complexity of customers' needs increased, Weller Germany became the global market leader in developing and manufacturing hand soldering products. The company's products were proudly labeled "Made in Germany," a testament to their innovation and reliability.

Weller's professional heavy-duty soldering gun features dual-heat settings that produce 200 or 260 watts of power. The pistol grip design with a fingertip trigger heat selector allows for easy adjustment of the heat output. The heavy-gauge, high-efficiency, tin-plated copper tip heats up in just 6 seconds, making it ready for use in a matter of moments.

Renowned for its diverse range of high-quality tools, Weller is a trusted brand among experts and professionals. All of the company's products have been designed with the requirements of the professional in mind, ensuring that they can withstand even the most demanding jobs.
