    The price is around the same for the tips for the Pace or JBC.
    If the fake stations are like the one Northridgefix tried out the firmware is absolute garbage and the station was unusable.

  • Recommendations of quality soldering station and (separate) hot air station

    Hey,

    I'm looking for some recommendations of a decent quality soldering station and a separate hot air station. I'm just a hobbyist, so even if (ultra)premium tools are not required, I still want some good tools. They should be available in Europe.

    I now have a TS100 and some soldering irons and looking for some better tools.

    1. Soldering station, budget around 200-240€
    JBC BT-2BWA seems to be a good product in the budget.

    2. Hot air station, budget around 200€
    Up to now I've found ATTEN ST-862D to be a good option.

    What do you think about these products? Do you have some other recommendations in about the same budget, or lower budget if you think I get about the same quality.

    Thanks.

    Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
    by sam_sam_sam
    I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

    I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

    by chth96
    hello.
    A few months ago,I have purchased 0.1mm Soldering Iron Tip of below aliexpress link,But I noticed that It is totally impossible to use this 0.1mm iron tip in the T12 soldering station
    https://ko.aliexpress.com/item/4001275635593.html
    Is there any good soldering station which is possible to use 900M-TJ-I tip and have inexpensive or reasonable price in aliexpress?
    Any reply would be appreciated.

    KSGER C245 Soldering station PSU 220V only?
    by mkbehbeh
    I purchased this soldering station when it was on sale at amazon. It had a slew of one star reviews, but the price was low enough that even if the controller and PSU were toast, the handle tips and stand were worth more than the price. All of the reviews mentioned that the unit was either DOA, or died on the first use. I looked on Aliexpress and the first clue was that KSGER still sold the 220V version of this station, but all of the 110V versions had been discontinued. I figured That there was a problem with the 110V on the power suppply and the controller would be fine.

    I am...

    Yihua 992DA+ Hot air gun and soldering rework station, burnt mark
    by Peter_1402
    Hi Everyone,
    I bought a Yihua 992DA+ hot air gun and soldering iron unit from a used market.
    1. Soldering iron works great
    2. There is a burnt mark on the hot air gun handle.
    I am a bit concern by the look of the melted plastic. I opened the hot air gun handle and took some readings with a multimeter.
    Heating element ~ 75ohm. (Similar reading taken from a spare heating element that came with the unit.)
    Thermocouple ~ 1.5ohm. (Similar reading from the spare heating element.)
    Reed switch tested ok with a magnet.
    From the above test, I can conclude...

    QUICKO soldering station
    by nbdy
    HI,

    Have a QUICKO soldering station with no numbers for the model ... (think it's a KSGER or similar copy)

    All worked nice, till some day it heats the iron till it was RED (HOT) ...

    Turned it off, and tryed today again, and all the same, even with a second iron ...

    The display shows that the iron is not connected, like not inserted in the handle ...

    The second thing is that it has 6 pins connector and can't find a handle that is similar for my station ...

    Has someone some advice what to do, where to look, even how to...
