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

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

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 👌

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.

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

The media could not be loaded. 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.

This is an excellent value for the price and is well-designed. works really well, The temperature increases and decreases very quickly reducing wait time.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

Used less than ten times, and today whilst heating up the fan stopped, smoke came from the nozzle and f-1 was displayed.It’s cheap for a reason: it is poorly built and does not last. It seems this isn’t an isolated incident either.Save your money, buy something decent.
