    It always looks cheap until the very last second when snipers come in.

    Now these were good deals that expired today. A little fast orange or gojo and the holsters will look like new.

        PS. The Fluke 179 isn't on my shopping list unless it is really really cheap (like $50).

            Why is that? That's what I wanted to buy, but in the last moment I found the 85-v.
            On the 170 class the holster is not removable.

                Since we are talking tools/instruments here, what kind of soldering stations do you guys have.
                I have purchased the Kendall 899D and it's almost great, but when I need to remove a cap with a bigger solder, or the trace is pretty big, it handles it pretty bad.
                That station that I have purchased is mostly for the heat gun anyway.
                I'm looking at the Weller WESD51, what do you think about this, or could you recommend something around that ballpark? I'm kind of eyeballing the Hakko 951, but it's a bit expensive. I like it digital.

                    There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Fluke 170 series.

                    Given what you were going to spend, $150 for used Fluke 179, and what you did spend, $250 for new Fluke 87V, I think the latter is a better deal because it has more features and you get the warranty.

                        Get a 3.2mm chisel tip for it and try desoldering again.

                                If yes, use the bigger tips for desoldering.

                                    So that is my problem, that I'm using a to small tip? If I remember well I'm using a 2.6mm one.
                                    I will get one and try it out before I get another station. At work we have an old Weller and with that I can unsolder anything with a sharp pointy tip.

                                        I have a 1.6mm not a 2.6mm.

                                            Start at 28:26 into this video and see how the tip size makes a difference.

                                                I use 2.6~3mm tip for de-soldering as well on my good old Weller soldering station.

                                                        I thought that it might creep up in price.

                                                        I would love to get hold of the fluke 87v next. I'm pretty sure I should really be looking at an oscilloscope before buying a second fluke multi meter though.

                                                            UNBELIEVABLE!!!! $20 sold for working Fluke 87V.

                                                            If the seller meant $200, I wonder if he HAS to sell it for $20?

                                                                    I don't mind paying more, at least I will know that nobody abused it, I have the lifetime warranty and it's brand new and tomorrow I will have it.
                                                                    In my opinion if you can afford a new meter then buy the new one. Instruments are tools in which you want to trust.

                                                                        He probably meant to sell it for more. The guy knew how to get it calibrated so he cant be a total idiot / not know what quality it was. He also listed it as great condition and with RMS with some excalmations so seems to have known well what it was / does.

                                                                        Unless there is chinese fakes or something, and the seller is scamming whoever bought it.

                                                                            I have measured two 1000uf capacitors and they showed like 2240uf and 0.09 ESR, that means it's bad or I'm picking up some other component's value?

                                                                                    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...

This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

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 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.
