Review: Excellent Product! - This thing is great for car audio work! It heats up fast and melts solder easily! Great value! Works great and the batteries last quite a while. I can do at least one install without needing to change the batteries! I have the old version of this where you have to hold the button while working. This one is much better to use. Just slide the switch and the LED will flash until it’s ready and then light solid. I would definitely recommend this product!
Review: Maximum convenience for instant soldering readiness - This iron heats up in under a minute. After multiple uses, the batteries died but showed at the low end of “good” on the battery tester. At this point, the iron could not get hot enough to melt standalone coiled solder. New batteries fixed the problem! I love this solder iron’s efficiency. However, it did not respond at all to rechargeable NIMH 1.2V AAs and has thus far shown to operate only by fresh alkaline 1.5V AAs.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maximum convenience for instant soldering readiness

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Very Good Portable Iron With Some Stipulation...
*by M***R on May 19, 2024*

After comparing manufacturer information and customer reviews about the Weller WLIBAK8 and Hakko FX-901/P AA battery driven soldering irons, the Weller was selected mostly on the red tag sale price. Reviews on a variety of value priced portable irons are generally not stellar especially when soldering 20 gauge or larger wires. Though most of the wire soldering required is 22 gauge and smaller, the iron must pass the 18-gauge wire splice test when powered by rechargeable Eneloop batteries to replace the “toolbox storable” Weller WP25. Testing included 4 fully charged 2100mAH Eneloop’s purchased in 12/2019 and Kester 44 63/37 solder at .031” diameter. 18 gauge solid, 18 gauge stranded with fewer but larger strands and 18 gauge with more common number of strands. All stranded wire ends were tinned prior to the join. A firm mechanical was connection was made only for the 18-gauge solid wire test. The results exceeded expectations in all 3 cases. 2 photos show both the 18 gauge solid and 18 gauge stranded (fewer but larger). The Weller sufficiently heated, after 30sec warmup and allowing ample time for heat, the desired capillary action of solder drawn to the heated copper wires was observed. Also, soldered a variety of 20-, 24- and 26-gauge wires with expected very good results. Will be evaluating older and lower mAH Eneloops for usability with the smaller gauges which is what is mostly soldered. Battery usage was roughly approximated. After less than a dozen connections, removed and placed batteries in charger. Iron was shut off in between connections. About 1.5 hours to fully charge. Typical charge times from discharge is about 10-12 hours. The Weller WLIBAK8 iron is certainly not without shortcomings. -The iron's power switch is “rough.” Only time will tell how long it functions. The switch best exemplifies tradeoffs in quality at that price point. If information is correct, this model is made by another company for Weller. -Materially noticeable tip temperature decline was observed when cleaning and tinning using the wet sponge method in comparison to the brass coil method. The tip temp issue most likely occurs with many battery powered irons in this price quality category. -Replacement tips for the Weller are very expensive relative to the WLIBAK8’s price. MSRP is $44 for 3 tips or about $15, a little under the red tag price. Tip cost replacement makes this a disposable iron if needed. The 1970’s vintage Weller TC202 + TC201 soldering station and 1980s Weller WP25 have their original tips. Tips on both are always well tinned and kept clean so without abuse, at least for soldering, expectation is that the WLIBAK8 tip, even with today’s “cheaper” products, should last long enough. -Running on alkaline or non-rechargeable batteries for any more than a few connections a month will be expensive. -Size and weight can be acceptable for some but not for others. The Hakko FX-901/P body appears rounder and not as thick on 2 sides in photos and possibly better to physically hold and control. -The included “tool that some use as a stand” is not secure. The iron does not fit into most generic stands so shutting off at times may be safest when multiple connections are needed but not ready to be soldered immediately following each other. -The LED is a little difficult to position on the subject however I find this on most LED equipped tools. -Though a minor thing…A standard single column paginated 8.5 x 11 or A4 instruction sheet should be available on the website rather than a PDF mimic of the included microscopic size text, paper “folding nest” multi-column instruction paper sheet included in the package. Was considering returning the iron due to size, shape and weight however I’m leaning on keeping it. Typically avoid writing reviews after only a few uses and a short 3 week ownership but based on the tests, the Weller WLIBAK8 seems to be a hard to beat cordless soldering iron below $20.
