Weller ML200 Magna-Lite Butane Table-Top Torch

Weller transforms hand soldering The art of hand soldering has been around for a very, very long time, thousands of years in fact. But it was only until 1941 that a transformer based instant heating soldering method was de­vel­oped by an im­pa­tient Amer­i­can radio re­pair­man who was tired of sit­ting around 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 irons 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 for pri­mar­ily in­dus­trial mar­kets through­out Eu­rope and the Near East. Keep­ing pace with the in­creas­ing com­plex­ity of our cus­tomers needs, Weller Ger­many be­came the mar­ket leader for de­vel­op­ing and man­u­fac­tur­ing hand soldering prod­ucts world­wide. Our prod­ucts were proudly em­bla­zoned with Made in Ger­many, sig­ni­fy­ing in­no­va­tion and re­li­a­bil­ity. The Magna-Lite table-top torch from Weller is a powerful compact performer. With a mid-setting run time of 60 minutes and a powerful, wind-resistant 2,500-degree Fahrenheit flame, the ML200 is perfectly suited for soldering and brazing, heating and bending thin metal, loosening frozen or rusted nuts and bolts, and many other uses around the home, shop, boat, or campsite. Child-resistant safety trigger reviewed and approved by Consumer Products Safety Commission. Refillable, butane sold separately, torch ships empty.
