Not as it used to be.

4.0

No, Weller nozzle quality is not as it used to be when it was manufactured in Germany. The 4 corner spot-welds had no penetration and the bottom heat plate was detached when received. I got a partial refund from a nice representative at Tequipment.net and repaired that myself. This was the best option since I already waited a long time for my order that was delayed by the fabrication of another Weller nozzle (NA10). I needed the NQ45 to cleanly pull IDT79R4600 chips off some Killer Instinct arcade boards to inspect and get some trace rework done under them. In that respect the NQ45 worked flawlessly once coupled to a HAP3000 (WHA3000V). Another fact to note on those newer Mexican made nozzles is the lack of laser etched model and part numbers like there used to be on the older German made nozzles.
