Will this work with a Weller WE1010? If not, does Weller sell an equivalent (compatible with this kit)

If that is the same one I got, it did not seem to fit my WE1010.

I ended up just getting a 2nd iron that it did fit; leaving one for soldering and one for the inserts, so no waiting on things to cool to replace tips :slight_smile:

Hey @Pixmusix,

Looks like the Weller WE1010 takes tips of the ‘ET standard’ variety while these inserts are sized for Hakko’s ‘T18 standard’. They look pretty close, but not close enough for a proper fit.

It doesn’t look like we have a variant of this product that will fit your soldering station at the moment, but hopefully it’s helpful to know that only tips designed for the ET standard will fit your soldering iron.

ET standard is a good search term. I’ll hunt around.
