class station for semiprofessional applications

Some time back and forth, I wondered if I should buy 81 of the digital Weller WHS 40D with 40 Watt, a JBC soldering station or the professional, but analog Weller WS 80 watts. Since the latter two simply are more than twice as expensive, and the use of a soldering iron with us is more than manageable is :), I decided ultimately to 40D.

I am satisfied with this top station, especially since the device to my expectations, fueled by good to very good test results, fully equivalent.

+ Very good quality and design
+ Reliable control technology
+ Rapid attainment (eg heating time for 350 ° C for about 1 minute) and very good hold of the regulated temperature
+ Clear display without gimmicks
+ Storage and sponge welcome Details
+ Optimal temperature range (at last carefree soldering of being replaced germanium transistors, so there is still!> Among others sh-semiconductor (.de), Munich)

+ Price / performance very good

My conclusion: recommended for home or semiprofessional use entirely.
