959D Hot Air Rework Station for SMD Soldering 3 Memory Channels with 4 Hot Air Nozzles, Soldering Work Mat, ESD Safe Tweezers(UK Plug)

I got this to repair gamesboys. I do full removal of the old components so the inductors, capacitors, fuses, battery terminals etc and this has handled all of that on multiple gameboys now every well. However I will say I'd recommend turning the heat down from 350 to 330. I use my soldering iron at 350c but with this I had to drop it to 330c because at 350 I ripped almost every trace pad for all the capacitors and ICU chips I removed on this broken gameboy I was salvaging for parts (don't worry this board was broken beyond repair anyway) Once I dropped the temperature to 330 however that problem is no more. I've worked on several gameboys now with no torn trace pads. Overall this is a great reflow station at a really good price. The temperature control is great, I love the 3 different settings you can set. It's just really well designed and has saved many gameboys from been thrown away so far. I highly recommend this one 👌

Bought this as the first station for me to start doing hot air soldering alongside my iron, works great, was able to desolder the joysticks from my sons Xbox controller with ease compared to the longer time it would take using an iron, heats up quickly and comes with some nice stuff in the kit to make it easier

Works really well for removing surface mount components from PCB's, excellent temperature response and goes into standby when placed in its holder.Highly recommended.

Used to repair yet another dead western digital external (elements) drive with a broken SMD USB socket (had 3 of those now) A slightly more targeted nozzle clip on would be nice but that's nit picking really. Excelent product at a good price. The mat that's included is very useful.

I bought this unit for repairs, having used similar products in the past. As a package it's an effective, compact and useful tool. The accessories such as ESD tweezers, silicon mat, and three nozzles are a good addition. The accuracy of the temperature control has not been validated, but the unit is responsive to changes, quick to warm up, and quick to cool down once placed in the side holder. A good unit for both professional and home use.

Over the moon with this hot air workstation, Seems to function exactly as I would hope and for the price it’s incredible value for money! The build quality seems to be very good, it’s extremely easy to use and very straightforward. It even came with a heat proof mat, some tweezers and some spare nozzles for more delicate work.

Well had a wee shot of the Hotair solder station that arrived today, removing a wee IC with an exposed pad on the underside. I have to say I quite like it, compact, good airflow, quick change temperature buttons( very easy to set each button temperature too) . Temperature cools down as soon as it’s in the cradle, I just turned up the airflow at the same time as well. I will attempt to check the Hotair temperature and recalibrate if needed at some point, although I reckon it’s reasonably close. So far so good, as I’ve only had it a few hours and I like it.

This is a BIG unit. Cumbersome and not easy to use on small circuit boards.
