I want to know what you consider the best station (price/quality) for soldering smd, ic, rezistors, capacitors etc?
But for bga?
Thanks!

Re: Best soldering station
There is no any magic solution out there.
I am looking for one too.
I need the hot iron to be at 60 watts.
About the hot air I have one lets say question.
It looks to be 250W & 500W units with dedicated pump.
And both looks to have the same output in Celsius.
The difference in Watts haves to do with the time that you have to wait so to become hot ?
The model that I am very close to get is the AOYUE 908. -
Re: Best soldering station
MCM is about the best i have ran across..I buy solder wic & solder all the time from them..Comment

Re: Best soldering station
I have an AOYUE 952+ which is the same regarding hot air section,works fine if you understand its limitations..Comment

Re: Best soldering station
Wouldn't recommend any Aoyue equipment - have a 968 - too many problems...Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.Comment

Re: Best soldering station
I have a 952+ hot air station, a 474a desoldering station ,a 936A soldering station, an 853 preheater and an 883 preheater.( I guess I am a fan of this brand )
I have never,ever had a problem with any of them, but as I said I understand their limitations.. I am an hobbyist (or maybe semi-professional ? ) and so my use isn't very hard on them..Comment

Re: Best soldering station
The best, price-is-no-object, hand soldering station is Metcal.
Weller's WTCPT is really good. Hakko 936 is really good.

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... -
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. -
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.... -
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.

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...
