Which Hot Air Rework station?

<< < (4/4)

PK:
They tend to clog up in s short period of time too. We have one, it's rarely used.

PekkaNF:
Which one you have?

Clogging sounds like pretty fatal shorcoming. Which part of it clogs? I watched some videos, but really can't make much out of them. I think I can live full life without one, but I'm just curious.

Mu iron is halfway Germany now.

Got the iron (Hakko FX888D), few tips and flux pen yesterday, but had only time to unpack it and check that all is in the cardboard box. Didn't have time to test it yet, got out of job late, but it appears nice.

I was affraid of the FisherPrice-looks, it is a little loud, but looks better in real life and in the end I don't care toy looks if it works fine. It appears fine, handpiece is light weight an cable is fexible and long eneough.

You guys rock...  sounds like you do SMT work all day long.  I only do it as a hobby so I use the common hot air gun as a reflow tool and as a heat shrink gun too.  I have a small one around 1/2" nozzle maybe 200 watts and a big one around 2" nozzle maybe 1000 watts that can blow the PC board apart if I'm not careful.  I only use that one from a distance of 2-4 inches to mostly preheat the part of the board I want to work on.
