Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I have seen a few that would make it worth it.

  Madness said   This is what I have.

The link you included has a very basic iron by the look of it, the SMB hot air rework station is great if you are doing a lot of surface mount stuff but chances are it would collect dust and not much more.

Tinker the link I posted is just flux not solder paste.


That link doesn't work, is this clone ok?

Yeah thats it, I would get spare tips and a couple spare elements while you are at it. The tips you will need so you have a range of sizes, best to have spare elements on hand because if you don't it will fail when you need it most, they cost next to nothing anyway.

They are a good little unit, I bought a second replacement handpiece as well, its got a bigger chisel bit in it, and the one that came ith it has a much smaller tip for surface mount stuff- I found it meant swapping tips for soldering wires etc, and after burning myself a couple of times, I got the replacement handle for about $7 off alibaba, now I just swap irons instead
