I want to get a hot air rework station. The last one I purchased was one of those cheap $50 units that had a soldering iron as well as the hot air. It broke within like four months.
What I'm hoping to achieve with this post, is to get some discussion on the topic; What to look for, what to avoid, and also recommendations on specific units. I'm not looking to find the cheapest unit I can find. I want something that is good quality that will last a long time and will also deliver heat well with accurate temperature selection and it should also be able to vary the speed of the air moving through the wand.
That being said, I'm not going to spend $600 on a Weller ... that seems a bit excessive to me.
So any comments, opinions, recommendations?
