PekkaNF:
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:

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...

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?

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..

Thanks, I'll start looking at those hotair rework stations.

Not so sure about the HF irons yet. More than one brand?

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:

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
