Default Re: Hot Air Rework Station

They can be had for £20-30 on eBay, Amazon etc. Model number is 858D, they aren’t the best quality but for under £30 they are perfectly acceptable for occasional use. If you go for one it’s worth checking the internal mains side wiring, especially the earthing arrangement!

In a previous job we had genuine Hakko units and in my home workshop I have a clone version which works well but it was still fairly pricey when I bought it (years ago). The sub £30 ones aren’t far behind in capability but the price reflects the build quality.

HTH,
