I noticed you went with the 110V US version - seeing as you are in Australia I guess you must also be using a step-down transformer? Any reason why you didn't go for the 220V EU version or would that also require a transformer? Thanks for the comprehensive review!
Nice! Where can i get a stand which holds the air blower vertically? (which you used at "practical test" chapter, 5:52). I suppose is not included with the station. Or is it?
Yeah it is good for higher density boards too With shields I’d recommend using ultra low melt solder around them first with an iron. It melts around 90°c you do need to remove it after though. Nothing against the stations capabilities just that is a better method and less risk
Are there any combo soldering and hot air stations as good as this (with either T12 or JBC style tips comparability on the iron side). Or is it better to buy dedicated machines?
Any kind It depends on what you are working on. No clean Tacky gel flux is the most versatile The only places you can’t use it is in certain micro soldering applications, like iPhone ram replacements
I wish i saw this video earlier I would've bought mine sooner lol, very detailed review
@@eggnogg8086 thanks for watching :)
Atten works very good. Thats what I am using right now bro.
Nice!!
Very professional bruz
Thanks bruz
Just bought this not even 5 minutes ago from northridge fix!

Check out the Forward FW-HA01 hot air station or one of the other models.

I actually live in Asia currently
@@Slot1Gamer Awesome - that explains it! Thanks
How about reviewing the Forward precise temperature control hot air gun
i have this machine 2 years now work nicely
Awesome, they are good machines
What to review next: definitely the RF4 H2 which seems promising as it's around $70 for 1000 W (50 l/min, though)
Yeah RF4 make some nice looking stuff
I think they mostly target mobile phone shops hence the low flow rate for that one.

It’s not included, it’s actually a stand for a digital microscope
Fantastic! Thank you!
Thanks glad you liked it 😃
How did you like this hot air station for working on more dense Apple board and shields?
Yeah it is good for higher density boards too
With shields I’d recommend using ultra low melt solder around them first with an iron.

@@Slot1Gamer Ultra low melt solder? First time I'm hearing of this, can you share buylink?

@@semod8614 wep soldering now sell one that’s JBC iron compatible with this same type of hot air system
It’s called 992D III 2 in 1
Getting it Tomorrow :D
Nice! let me know if you like it 😄
@@Slot1Gamer thanks! I also bought the jbc CD-2BQF. I'm extremely excited! I'll let you know!
Sweet that’s a nice looking station too
Forward hot air station better known as blue fire hot air station
What flux can be used?
Any kind
It depends on what you are working on.
No clean Tacky gel flux is the most versatile
