After buying new Weller guns only to have them fail within six months, I gave up on Weller and started buying the 150/230 watt gun from Craftsman (Sears). They are very reliable, lasting for around three years under severe service (nearly nightly usage for a few hours at a time), and not very expensive - they are often on sale at $25 or so.
