YIHUA 959D-II

I got this to repair gamesboys. I do full removal of the old components so the inductors, capacitors, fuses, battery terminals etc and this has handled all of that on multiple gameboys now every well. However I will say I'd recommend turning the heat down from 350 to 330. I use my soldering iron at 350c but with this I had to drop it to 330c because at 350 I ripped almost every trace pad for all the capacitors and ICU chips I removed on this broken gameboy I was salvaging for parts (don't worry this board was broken beyond repair anyway) Once I dropped the temperature to 330 however that problem is no more. I've worked on several gameboys now with no torn trace pads. Overall this is a great reflow station at a really good price. The temperature control is great, I love the 3 different settings you can set. It's just really well designed and has saved many gameboys from been thrown away so far. I highly recommend this one 👌

Bought this as the first station for me to start doing hot air soldering alongside my iron, works great, was able to desolder the joysticks from my sons Xbox controller with ease compared to the longer time it would take using an iron, heats up quickly and comes with some nice stuff in the kit to make it easier

Works really well for removing surface mount components from PCB's, excellent temperature response and goes into standby when placed in its holder.Highly recommended.

Used to repair yet another dead western digital external (elements) drive with a broken SMD USB socket (had 3 of those now) A slightly more targeted nozzle clip on would be nice but that's nit picking really. Excelent product at a good price. The mat that's included is very useful.

I bought this unit for repairs, having used similar products in the past. As a package it's an effective, compact and useful tool. The accessories such as ESD tweezers, silicon mat, and three nozzles are a good addition. The accuracy of the temperature control has not been validated, but the unit is responsive to changes, quick to warm up, and quick to cool down once placed in the side holder. A good unit for both professional and home use.

Over the moon with this hot air workstation, Seems to function exactly as I would hope and for the price it’s incredible value for money! The build quality seems to be very good, it’s extremely easy to use and very straightforward. It even came with a heat proof mat, some tweezers and some spare nozzles for more delicate work.

Well had a wee shot of the Hotair solder station that arrived today, removing a wee IC with an exposed pad on the underside. I have to say I quite like it, compact, good airflow, quick change temperature buttons( very easy to set each button temperature too) . Temperature cools down as soon as it’s in the cradle, I just turned up the airflow at the same time as well. I will attempt to check the Hotair temperature and recalibrate if needed at some point, although I reckon it’s reasonably close. So far so good, as I’ve only had it a few hours and I like it.

This is a BIG unit. Cumbersome and not easy to use on small circuit boards.

Esta bueno solo que no apaga automatico

I bought this because some components are hard to remove with a solder iron. I watched some videos and noticed that a lot of people are using these air types to work on boards. I found one that was highly rated and reasonable on the price. This turned out to be a really good tool. I repaired a few boards, even removed some small components with no problem. Then I discovered something else, it also works on heat shrink tubing. I set it to about 240F or so and it is awesome. It pulls the heat shrink nice and tight without getting it to hot and splitting. It's awesome. It heats up really fast. It even cools fairly quickly but I wish I could get the fan to run with no heat to make it cool faster so I can change tips. For the price tho, I can't complain. Oh, when I first turned it on, it didn't do anything. You have to remove the heating part from the holder. It has a sensor and turns off, or stays off, until you remove the heating part. Also, be careful you don't cover the air intake with your hand. The way I like to hold it when using for heat shrink tubing, I find I cover the air intake and have to change positions. It sounds different so you can tell when you covering the air intakes. Overall this is a nice tool. Comes in very handy and does what it is supposed to do. I just wish it had a fan only button for 30 or 45 seconds to speed cooling time to change tips.

Great product, works as expected!

Have no issues with it so far works as expected. Sometimes the auto off function doesn't work correctly.

This hot air gun worked perfectly and quickly, it came with all the tips I needed. The build quality seems good and the temperature control was easy to figure out, without really reading the instructions. I used this hot air gun to repair a faulty drone flight stack. But I love how quickly this heats up. I’m not too sure how long it will last as I just received the package in the mail an hour ago. But it seems sturdy, I’ll update if anything goes wrong with it.
