Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Soldering Guns & Irons
Having some SMD components that needed changing and not wanting to struggle with a soldering iron I thought I'd give this a try (For the price it was worth a punt :) ). The unit feels solid and of good quality. After getting it out of the box and wrapping you need to remove some transportation screws from the box and affix the gun mount to the side then you're ready. Once on my bench and the temp I wanted set I just picked up the gun and it automatically starts heating up and blowing air. Aiming the gun at a resistor the solder melted in a couple seconds and was quickly removed with some tweezers, job done. Note to self, turn the air flow speed down. Had a resistor vanish when trying to resolder ;)

So far I've used it to remove a large number of through hole switches from some scrap PCB's and also construct a spectrum analyser with lots of surface mount of LED's - so I've experienced both ends of its range. It has loads of air power (when doing the surface mount LED's I had to turn it almost all the way down to its minimum setting) which comes in handy when desoldering large items on ground planes. The only issue I had was initially it didn't go into cooling mode when the wand was placed in the cradle. It turned out this was simply because the rubber guard wasn't pushed up far enough; once I gave it a good shove so it could sit further back int the cradle it all worked perfectly. It now comes on when I lift it off and shuts down when I place it back in the cradle. Over all I think for what this costs its amazing. The build quality is pretty good and its excellent value for money.Read full review

i used this to repair the detachable display on my HF radio. it was all surface mounted devices. with this i was able to heat up the broken component, take it of with a pair of tweezers and replace it. this also works great for component reclaiming and recycling! wish i got one sooner!
