That’s a quality looking station, I’ve held onto all the stuff that I’ve burnt up since being in the hobby and my mates give me their broken electronics as well, so I’ve got quite a lot of things that I can salvage parts from. This type of work really interests me.
thank you @dronemesh I had NO idea board pre-heaters were a thing, I have a GREAT soldering and Hot Air system.. and just now researched an SMD board pre-heater.. at $70 i'm still thinking about it as i9 don't do as much rework and salvage as you, I rely on my free-time and chip-qwik.. but thanks, "I learned something today"
Great video!I just wish that preheater would come separately. But I also want to have a preheater that was based on convection and not infrared. Infrared tend to heat up black parts more than anything else. In this case the black package of the components on the bottom side of the board will be hotter than the pcb, unless the pcb is black. So for example reflow ovens for soldering are usually designed to use as little infrared radiation as possible and as much convection as possible.
5v regulators... I'm kidding... I'm sure you have a few videos lined up. I'm glad that you are getting use out of those components! More than I would have. And you can help more people than I can. Thanks again bro!
just my thought, it is faster to use just the hot air gun than using the pre-heater. Setting up and waiting for the pre-heater to fire up is time consuming, esp when you're just unsoldering a tiny board which I think has a very smell thermal mass. Just the heat gun alone would do the trick. Tip: Try using the hot air gun as your pre-heater by aiming 3-4inches in distance at the surrounding part that you want to solder / unsolder for a few seconds, And then aim the nozzle close to the part that you're going to unsolder/solder. Also, get a Vacuum Suction Pen / IC Component Picker Good review btw :) -subscribed!
Fudge yea been waiting for this... Been thinking of investing in a station and was waiting to see what your current recommendation would be.. FYI link to product in this video and the post from the other day do not work.
@@DroneMesh There is only one voltage available at the link(220v). If you want to see impressive technique at rework, check out Louis Rossmann. You may find his TH-cam layout interesting as well.
@@shamous180 I have been looking at the 3 in 1 rework stations and when I find a good price, it is usually 220 only. I think that it would be great to have a power supply there to power things up.
Will going in with 500 to 550 degrees celcius to remove newer models Iphone cpu shield remove the shield quicker than using a lower temperature without damage?
Nice review. Been looking at this rework station and a bunch of others. Glad to see you got yourself some flux. Can't believe how cheap this rework station is. When I was working in the repair industry 15 years ago something like that was a few grand, its crazy how cheap all these things have become.

I love that you're taking the channel in this direction. Keep up the great work!

Lots of preheaters available separately... Was gonna grab this one myself esp being a newborn but not for use in the u.s.
Thank you sir!!! I have been waiting for you to do this video for over a year now lol. Thanks

This all thanks to your generous contribution :)
@@DroneMesh I just want this hobby to grow and learn as much as we all can! I love knowledge!Thank you man!!!

Fixed thanks for heads up.. Make sure to choose the correct voltage..

@@MnPaul1 dang good catch.... Bummer for me... I am sure something will come up

looks like a sick station.... already got one but if didn't this one would get a serious look at....

So you can only use the heating pad for single sided boards?
Same question
Fantastic tool, dude... Really nice! 😃
Nice one , please where can i get this rework station here in Mozambique
You ever heat up a board to long and drop components from the bottom part of the board?
Hello, i would like yo know the same
Excellent video and great tool.
Were you able to get a 110v model ? I've been trying to find one everywhere for months
A fantastic bit of kit but how do you no if the components that you are removing are good
what about the vid that ur talking about? is it published?
Well, now you need an assembly system and you can start your own production :D

Very nice information. Thanks for the review. Are you still happy with the soldering station? Did it hold the pass of time? :) Thanks!
I have the same unit, works wonderfully and has held up to extensive use for several years still happily using it to this day
Awesome soldering station.
i need it. defo
did you get it?
👍👍
thanks!brother
If I was a little braver this would be a great station to pick up.
what a difference
