LRT 8018A Professional Hot Air Rework Station with Digital Temperature Control - 600W SMD Desoldering Gun, 3 Nozzles & LED Display for Electronics Repair, PCB Soldering, Phone Fixing Tools

Works great. i like the programed heat setting as well as the cooldown process. I am happy with the product.

Once you figure out how to use it, it worked great for my rework on a printer pcb. You need your other materials but this gets plenty hot and has a cool down fan feature just keep it plugged in when powering down it will care for itself. Great price for the tool

Bought this to help me replace the joysticks in a Xbox controller. Worked wonderfully. Gets hot very fast.

With small nozzle attached, the item overheated the casing within a few minutes of first use causing the casing to melt onto the metal barrel, which also became loose and wobbly from the heat. Didn't notice the issue until the melted plastic began to smoke and drip onto my work station also. Not good.

Tried it to desolder an HDMI port from an Xbox series X. Did not get the port enough even at the highest setting, eventually started melting itself, while the HDMI port was still attached. Probably ok for smaller jobs, not for this.

Works ok. Just half to turn it up hi to get Smd parts up and on the circuit board.

I tried using a small butane torch to install new pads on a clarinet but found it produced so much heat that the clarinet could be easily damaged. I discovered that some musical instrument repair techs use air soldering stations for this purpose instead of a torch. Using this tool I was able to repad a clarinet without causing any damage. I used low temperature hot glue sticks and set the temperature on this hot air tool to 250 Celsius. This item was the least expensive hot air soldering tool I was able to find. The hot air stations sold by the musical instrument supply houses cost many times more. I recommend this tool for occasional DIY repadding of a clarinet.

working well so far :)
