Looking to buy Weller Soldering Station ASAP

[theGinsue]

I need to buy a soldering station, preferably Weller brand. I'm not looking to get the high end models, something like the Weller WES51 for about $130 is sufficient.

I've looked @ local Colorado Springs options and nothing is in stock. Tomorrow, I'll be traveling to Boulder for a week stay for work and was hoping someone here could direct me someplace in the Denver area that would have this item in stock - hopefully near the I-25 corridor.

If I can't find one through in person purchase I'll have to go the Amazon route with delivery to my hotel.

So folks, whatcha got for me?

Sorry, I don't know anyone that carries them locally.

You can probably get one day delivery on this if needed.

Replacement for the WESD51 I use, should be a great bench unit.

If you really get in a pinch, you can borrow my WESD51, I'm easy to get to just south of e470 off Parker Rd. I even have some new tips if needed.

I looked at the digital 1010NA, but have no experience with them and didn't know how it stacked up or what the downside was compared to the analog one I have experience with. What are the up & down sides of the digital vs analog units?

If you need it asap, you may use mine. I've an assortment of tips. Model WESD51.

I maybe-might know where to find one for you in the morning but for the price point its probably just best to Amazon overnight.

* I like the consistency over analog, less futzing more doing.

Microcenter will have some options. Some I prefer over Weller.

I just prefer the digital readout to know where I'm running at a glance.

I've got a Weller WES51 you could borrow. I only have one tip and would have to leave it on my porch because I won't be here.

You all are awesome! Betwe en the replies and the PM's I think I'm taken care of.

I still need to improve my soldering skills, but that'll come with practice - which I forsee getting a lot of in the near future.

Looks like I'll be dropping in @ the Longmont Harbor Freight to pick up some new forceps and a "helping hands" assembly too. Soldering connectors onto comm cables isn't as easy to me as soldering copper plumbing pipes with a blow torch.

Um, I've got those too. That little doodad has been 'helpful' more than once.

Good call to whomever mentioned it. : )
