As part of its celebrations, Weller is introducing a special new black edition of its WE1010 soldering station and the new ZeroSmog Shield fume extraction system in keeping with eight decades of innovation and progress in soldering solutions for both enthusiasts and professionals.

The WE1010 Black Edition delivers the same trusted performance and user-friendly operation as the original WE1010 but features a sleek, commemorative black design and 80th anniversary logo.

The WE1010 uses ET soldering tips and features a standby mode and password-protected auto reset mode that helps to conserve energy and protect equipment.

Andrew Weatherill, Vice President of Global Product at element14, said, Weller Tools is the trusted name in hand soldering, rework, and fume extraction. They have led the way in these areas for many decades, and we look forward to following and supporting their innovative ideas and practical results for many years to come.”

The ZeroSmog Shield is engineered to complement Weller’s soldering stations by providing high-efficiency fume extraction, ensuring a cleaner, safer work environment for soldering professionals designed for intermittent use in laboratories, R&D and educational institutes. It comes with an easy to change EPA E10 filter and an integrated work light to indicate the optimal extraction area.
