I used a Weller WTCPN on my bench at work about 25 years. On 5 to 7 hours a day. The heating element failed a few times, and I had to re-cap the temp controller board insider the base. I have that station here at the house now. Can't get parts for it anymore, so I picked a couple more off ebay cheap for parts. Pretty easy to change tips and the adjustable heat was needed for the work I did, from soldering SMD components to desoldering metal shields.
