I bought this and it only came with partial instructions.

What is the black at the very bottom with the black know and what looks like a small goal post?
Are those rework tips used for desoldering components?
I know what the soldering braid is used for.
Thanks.

The goal posts can help you position things, but a set of fine tweezers will get your further.

The hot air can be used for soldering and desoldering. It helps a ton with SMD.

It's for lifting ICs off the PCB without damaging traces, you can put a very light lift tension on it and when the solder is molten it pops the IC off. It's probably low quality, you could improve on it making your own handle.

Thanks.
I really like the ability to dial in higher temperatures.
I needed to solder some 12 gauge wire and had to dial it up to 480.
The instructions had very few typos.
I was impressed.
