Apex Tool Group Llc WLIR8012A 80W Soldering Iron

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC WLIR8012A is an 80-watt soldering iron built for sustained professional use across electrical, electronics, and light trade applications. The unit features a 360-degree LED halo ring that illuminates the work area directly at the tip, reducing eye strain during detail work in low-light conditions. An ergonomic molded pencil-grip handle reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions. The integrated safety rest holds the iron securely between uses, lowering the risk of burns or bench damage. At 2.82 pounds, it is light enough for one-handed use across a full shift.

This soldering iron suits residential and light commercial electrical work, electronics repair, HVAC control board rework, and general wiring tasks. The pencil-grip form factor makes it well suited to precise, close-tolerance solder joints on small components. Easy-change tips allow technicians to swap tip styles quickly to match the joint type or material without extended downtime. It is sold as individual units with a package quantity of 6 per case.
