Thanks for the video, ... The rework station certainly has all the bells and whistles! ... At 7'20" you mop up the unattached solder paste balls surrounding the chip, Hope no probs from the ones remaining underneath the chip.
I'm thinking that he's asked her for 6 too often so now she has chosen to just ignore him 😂 Lovely emphasis on "Full Bridge Rectifier!" while pokimg around eith the screwdriver 😂
I'll never understand why most of the hot air stations insist on having buttons instead of knobs for setting the temperature and airflow. I wonder if it's a passive safety mechanism.
"Yihua 853D" - available on amazon, aliexpress, and elsewhere. It's definitely a budget rework station but it's nice to have soldering iron, hot air, bench DC supply, a basic voltmeter, and a USB charger port all in the same place. I've (ab)used the shit out of mine and, well, it is DEFINITELY a "budget" station, which is both good and bad. Bad, because I've burned out my hot air gun 3 times. Good, because replacement heater cartridges, fans, or even the entire air gun assembly, are available for properly cheap prices. Now, because I frequently prefer that my home / workshop not be on fire, I will talk about some safety stuff. The unit is well grounded, and has several protections for overheating / lockout and other heat gun related failure modes. Firstly, the controller IC software monitors EGT using an NTC just inside the tip of the nozzle. If things get out of hand, it'll cut power to the heater. The blower fan is at the base of the handle (try not to cover the inlet vent on one side of the gun) is monitored and if the RPM drops, again it will cut power to the heater There is also a physical thermal switch, like a KSD9700, located between the fan (at the base) and the heater cartridge inside the handle. Nice to have a backup safety completely un-corrupted by buggy software. Although I suspect that the thing probably needs to be damn near on fire for the switch to exceed temperature threshold in that location -- because the fan's blowing, you see. Hmm. Maybe if you totally blocked that inlet vent I mentioned before. Time for a _real carefully controlled_ science experiment! Last thing, if you've turned on the power to the heat gun module, it begins to blow and heat as soon as you lift the handle. This is accomplished through a magnetic reed switch sensor, also built into the handle. I have replaced this part a few times, because it can start to become unreliable. Sometimes I'll realise the fucking thing has been pumping out 480'C for 2 hours because I got up from my desk after using it, and didn't confirm that it was cooling down and shutting off.
Across the "Ditch" Dave would call this a proper Bobby Dazzler. Yep nozzle swap has evolved.

That thing would make a great vaporizer
For disposing of the rice once your phone is working again 🤣 Nice looking upgrade from the 861DW
Impressive! Maybe in future they'll do something like Dragon did, have it train on your voice for all key commands and numbers.

Definitely need one for blowing rice 😅
Got any suggestions for a more budget friendly rework station?

Big fan ❤
Voice control - what a load of bollocks.
Nowadays China produces for the masses. Would not surprise me to have a firmware for Indian English.
It has a US Southern accent! 😂 I would love one with a cockney accent.
Thanks for the review, Best regards, Antonio
All hot air station do use AC to power the heating element
dont turn it on, take it apaaaaart
