Exceptional trust
and great performance
with Weller Tools
The importance of reliable soldering tools in electromechanics
VoC from Israel Valdez, production and quality
coordinator at Melecs in Querétaro, Mexico –
an internationally active electronics service
provider offering Electronic Manufacturing Services
(EMS) and developping and producing electronic
components for various industries, including
automotive, household appliances, and industrial
sectors.
In the world of electromechanics, having the right
tools is essential to ensure the success of every
project. With over 10 years of experience working
with Weller, Israel Valdez shares his perspective on
the reliability and performance of this brand’s tools.

Weller: Synonymous with trust and durability
„Weller is synonymous with trust and durability.
Weller stations and soldering irons are undoubtedly
among the best tools I have used in my career,” says
Valdez, who has trusted the Weller brand for over a
decade. “In my experience, the quality of the tools
is exceptional, both under normal use and in more
demanding work scenarios. When I need to perform
more challenging tasks or work under pressure,
Weller stations always meet the requirements.
Without a doubt, they are very reliable and give you
the confidence that the job will be well done. For me,
the durability of Weller stations is unmatched – the
tools continue to work perfectly for many years, even
with intensive use.“
The WTHA1: A Game-Changing Hot Air Station
For Israel Valdez, durability is one of the key factors
when choosing tools for a production workshop,
where efficiency and minimal maintenance intervention
are crucial. His preferred tool is the WTHA1, a hot
air station that has made a significant difference
in his day-to-day work. “What I like most about the
WTHA1 is its power and the ability to control both
the airflow and temperature. This makes it ideal for
working with delicate components and desoldering
precisely without damaging the boards. The
versatility of the interchangeable nozzles has been
important for handling different types of components,
a key aspect in the electronics industry.”
The WXsmart:
Expanding Possibilities for Complex Boards
Another essential tool at Melecs is the WXsmart,
a soldering station that, according to Israel Valdez,
has considerably expanded the possibilities for
repairing and reworking electronic boards. “The
WXsmart, with its fine tips, is perfect for working with
very small SMT (surface-mount technology)
components. This allows us to work with more
complex and detailed boards, greatly expanding
our intervention capabilities,” he explains. The
precision and versatility of these stations allow
Melecs to perform repairs or adjustments without
compromising quality, something fundamental in an
industry where every detail matters.
Saving $300,000 with Weller
One of the most notable achievements using Weller
stations occurred when Melecs had to rework a
batch of boards for a critical project. Thanks to the
precision and reliability of the tools, the company
was able to save a value close to $300,000 USD.
“This type of situation demonstrates the real value
of investing in quality tools. By saving those boards
and ensuring the project’s success, not only was
an impeccable result achieved, but there was also
a huge economic return for the company,” explains
Israel Valdez. These kinds of results highlight the
importance of having equipment that not only gets
the job done but also delivers superior performance
in complex and demanding situations.
Israel Valdez emphasizes that Weller has been a
brand he fully trusts. „It’s a brand you know you can
rely on when it comes to manual soldering. The
efficiency and precision offered by their equipment are
unbeatable. From the WTHA1 to the WXsmart, each
tool serves its purpose flawlessly, and that’s what really
matters in a production and quality environment.“
For Melecs and professionals like Israel Valdez, the
choice of tools is not a minor issue. Investing in brands
like Weller ensures that the work is done well, not only
in the short term but also in the long run, guaranteeing
consistent, high-quality results.
