I have a Weller Therma-boost gun. It sucks. I believe it’s a 30watt gun and when you pull the trigger it jumps to 130 watts. The problem is that the “boost” is time limited. You get perhaps ten seconds of “boost” and then you have to wait a while before you can pull the trigger again. It really makes for an agonizing soldering experience on anything you’d need 130 watts to solder.
