wich hot air station to buy
« on: January 10, 2025, 06:55:35 pm »
Hello
I ´m a absolut beginner and i own a VELLEMAN VTSSC50N soldering station now i want to buy a hot air station for soldering and desoldering smaller components. I dont want to spend  much so it can sit on a conner on my place, but i want to buy once.
Any ideas about a decent air station less that 150 euros.
Thanks.

I bought the Quick 957DW+ from Tequipment for $105 US dollars and I am quite happy with it. Rotary analog heat and air controls with digital temperature readout. Air pump is in the control unit and heat element in the hand piece.  Next model up was three times the price and more than I cared to invest in a tool I only use occasionally.

Check eBay, there are lots of “858D” hot air stations for around €35~€40

Make sure it includes a selection of nozzles, as not all do.

I have had one for a few years and they are good enough for hobby use, both soldering and removing SMD parts.

I have been happy with the Yihua.  Takes up little space (kept off bench until needed), heats nicely and is great for many things.

Years back i bought Yihua Hotair + Soldering station from aliexpress Yihua official store, it works perfect, since then I always buy from Yihua any accessory i need for soldering requirements.
They are price quite reasonable, quality is good, they have huge variety for solering related needs

You can see Sparkfun's hot air rework Station - 8508D. Sparkfun sells authentic and tested products so I find them more dependable than ebay suppliers.
