YIHUA 948-II 4 in 1 Hot Air Rework Soldering Iron and Desoldering Suction Tin Gun Station with Suction Pick Up Pen °F /°C

I've been a hobbyist my entire life and have been known to do a bit of soldering here and there, but as things get smaller and smaller, the tools become less and less useful. I eventually found myself needing to remove a chip from a microcontroller board to replace it and lacking the tools to do so. I could have just gotten a hot air rework station by itself and called it a day, but I realized my poor old soldering iron was getting a bit worn out so I decided I'd get one with a soldering iron too, and then I saw a video of someone using a desoldering sucker and knew I had to have one. Lucky for me, there's an option to get all three in one nice package. I didn't even realize the machine had the small suction grabber for pulling and holding chips when using hot air, definitely a bonus that I wasn't expecting. I've used it a lot by now, and wanted to do so before I put in a review. The soldering iron is excellent, it heats quickly and has absolutely never let me down, grab yourself a set of extra tips of different formfactors and you'll be good to go. The desoldering gun took some learning, and I managed to clog it up pretty bad a few times before I got good at it. The trick seems to be holding the suction down until the solder is pulled all the way to the back of the internal catching spring. Once I got the hang of it, I was using it to pull through-hole components in record time. As a bonus, it's also pretty darn good at cleaning up pads without having to use solder wick. The air gun is why I got it in the first place, and it did the job I got it for without any effort, removed the chip and replaced it within 10 minutes of getting the machine and I've used it dozens of times since. It's reliable, heats quickly, and has all the tips you need to put the heat exactly where it needs to go. The small suction cup wand that I didn't realize it included is pretty awesome, I didn't even realize a tool like this existed, with the right cup on it you can get a lock on a chip so tight it'll lift the entire board off the table if you pull hard enough. This makes it trivial to pull chips without having to use tweezers, and even works for reinstalling them. A small dab of flux can help secure the suction if things are a bit dry. I didn't know I wanted it, but I don't know if I can ever go back to not having one. Overall, 10 out of 10, I couldn't be happier with it. The extra components and usage of standard parts for things like iron tips and heat carts just makes things all the better when the time comes to replace consumables.

I've had this for awhile now, and no issues at all. Cheaper than other brands but this brand is well received and recognized overseas.

Excelentes productos...más de lo que esperaba

Buen producto, pero para desoldar le hace falta mas potencia de succión y de la pistola de aire caliente...
