Need ocasssionally smaller hot air gun that the big un. Also trying to do some SMD stuff and while I know that those are not strictly needed for SMD work.....you guys are to be blamed: --- Quote from: wheeltapper on January 28, 2016, 01:12:20 PM ---...... funny coincidence, I just ordered an 858D hot air gun, different make to yours tho. got it off Fleabay. If you are interested in a review see here. A different make again but the same thing... --- End quote --- Et.Al. You guys are buying these like there is no tomorrow My plan is to buy a bit better traditional soldering iron (I have weller magnanast...bit clunky, but fine for trough hole componenets, I'll keep it), but I could settle with cheap hot air "iron". How's the plan? So, if I buy one of these what is the nest better and and how much better it is? Pekka |

We use a couple of those P85's on our rework benches at work. Can't fault them. Get yourself an induction heated soldering iron. Auto off and a cold to hot time of <10 seconds. Really worth having.. PK |

Thanks, I'll start looking at those hotair rework stations. Not so sure about the HF irons yet. More than one brand? Pekka |

We've bought ATTEN irons from ebay, but that's less about brand loyalty and more just so we only have to stock one type of tips. |

Read this post: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/deadly-wiring-fault-atten-858d-hot-air-rework-station/ I'm having hard time finding next level hot air station around 100€ or so delivered. Found this one: http://www.gratten.eu/solder-rework/hot-air-stations.html But never ordered them, it's not too famous and it has no VAT-number on site. Wonder if it is genuine place. Now, is there anthing a little better and it can be a bit more expensive? Second thing is: What sort of solder paste I should get for SMD:s? And flux to go? Thanks, Pekka |
