Gets The Job Done
By D. Vick
I originally bought a WSTA3 over fifteen years ago, and it worked flawlessly until this year, when it finally gave up the ghost. I had no hesitation whatsoever about replacing it with another WSTA3. It gets up to heat within 30 seconds, even working outside in windy conditions, and handles up to 10ga-wire soldering jobs just fine. The interchangeable tips are a plus, as is the micro-torch and hot air "gun" heads. I use it all the time for automotive work, where I can't get electrical power for my Weller portable soldering station, and use the heat gun for heat-shrinking connections in tight places as well. I have had no trouble getting three hours of work out of a full tank of butane, even in outdoor winter jobs. Refills are available at any place that sells refills for cigar lighters; the refill valve in the Pyropen tank is universal, and you don't need to pay the extra price for "Weller-Brand" butane - Ronson, et.al. works just fine.The self-lighting feature of the otherwise-identical Weller WPA2 iron is a nice luxury, however be aware you pay another $16 for the convenience, and you do not get the steel protective case or extra torch parts with the WPA2 that you get with the WSTA3. Dunno 'bout you, but in my opinion the protective case is a must-have for a working iron, and I can buy a lot of Bic lighters for sixteen bucks...
