Professional Soldering Gun Dual Heat - Weller D550

The art of hand soldering has been around for thousands of years, but it was not until 1941 that a transformer-based instant heating soldering method was developed by an impatient American radio repairman who was tired of waiting for his soldering gun to heat up. Carl E. Weller had to wait until after WWII ended in 1945 to get his Weller Manufacturing Company going.

In 1960, the Weller Manufacturing Co. in the US patented the "Magnastat" soldering iron, which used a magnetic component to regulate the temperature at the iron's tip. In an expansion overseas beginning in 1959, the Weller GmbH plant in Besigheim, Germany, along with new plants in other countries, was organized to manufacture temperature-controlled irons and soldering guns primarily for industrial markets throughout Europe and the Near East.

Keeping pace with the increasing complexity of their customers' needs, Weller Germany became the market leader for developing and manufacturing hand soldering products worldwide. Their products were proudly emblazoned with "Made in Germany," signifying innovation and reliability.

Weller is a leading manufacturer of high-quality tools, designed to withstand even the most demanding jobs. The company has gained international renown for its diverse range of products, all of which have been designed with the requirements of the professional in mind. Weller's tools are trusted, designed, and used by experts.

One of Weller's flagship products is the 260/200 watt heavy-duty soldering gun. This powerful tool is ready to use in just 6 seconds, thanks to its high-efficiency, tin-plated copper tip. The fingertip trigger allows the user to easily select between high and low output, making it a versatile and user-friendly option for a wide range of soldering tasks.

In summary, Weller has transformed the art of hand soldering, leveraging innovation and engineering excellence to develop a range of industry-leading products that are trusted by professionals around the world. From the company's humble beginnings in 1941, Weller has grown to become a global leader in the manufacture of high-quality, reliable, and innovative soldering tools.
