YIHUA 853D Hot Air Rework Soldering Iron Station:




I picked up this inexpensive hot air rework station awhile ago. I very rarely use the iron or the power supply,
but I use the hot air all the time. It gets most of its time shrinking heat shrink tubing, but I also use it
to re-melt hot-melt glue from time to time. The air is moved by a fan in the wand, not in the case.

It comes with a set of tips, but I find the tips are slightly undersize so are difficult to fit onto or remove
from the wand, so I've just kept one of the smaller tips on. The wand has a hall sensor in it to detect a magnet
in the hanger, so when you set the wand in the holder on the case, it starts cooling down and will shut off
the wand fan when the temp drops below 100F. (it even continues to cool if you shut off the hot air)
