I am interested in acquiring a hot air heat gun rework station.
Lately I have been doing a lot more SMD repair work and building of some new items so I was looking for some advice about your experience and advice on ones that you might have bought or used your advice is always welcomed.

Hello Ron,
thank you anyway that Photo is just an example there is a vast array makes and models forsale and before I spend money on a unit, I want to make sure I don't buy a piece of junk.

I worked with an AOYUE for over 6 years and it seemed to have had everything we needed. Has a lot of accessories. Nowadays they even have a vacuum pump for quickly removing solder. I think you can get a good one for $150-$200.

Sincerely Richard
