Hello,
Looking for suggestions for a good Hot air station. I have 2 but don't quite like them:
The
858D: Don't like digital control + Even on low, the air flow is quite high + The "air pump" is in the handle, making the handle big / heavy.
The
852D: The main body is kind of BIG + it has a soldering iron which I don't want.
What I am looking for:
- Analog (knob) control
- Hot air only, no soldering, desoldering
- "Air pump" in main body, not in handle
- Compact size, around the size of the 862D
- Ability to do low air flow
So far I've found:
857D - $150, But there are no reviews about it.
Metcal HCT2-200-11 - $500, Small handle (very nice), but has digital (button) controls and kinda expensive.
Metcal HCT-900 - $600- Kinda big + expensive.
Does anyone have feedback about the 857D or can suggest something better ?
