DEADLY WIRING FAULT ; Atten 858D+ Hot Air Rework Station
electr_peter:
Is there any difference between Atten 858D+/Wep 858D/Youyue 858D/Pro'sKit SS969B? These models seem to be identical except for front panel sticker. Pro'sKit unit might be slightly better.
UPDATE: Pro'sKit SS969B unit is very nice inside - good quality PCB with SMD components, all wire connections have sockets and are glued down with red glue, mains wiring is done properly - no real issues quality wise. And it works.

Mine was intermittetn when I got it........opened it up and the mains wiring was threadbare inside.
Cheap junk right enough........but does work pretty well.

Bought a "WEP 858D" on ebay, although the unit that I got has no branding - just the 858d part. Thanks to this thread I tool a look inside, and found that that fuse is on the neutral wire. That seems to be the worst of it, so it looks like I got a "good" unit compared to what others have encountered.
electrolux:
My brother bought one, it was fine. Some dodgy Chinese worker I expect.
alexanderbrevig:
Mine came with one of the connectors in the breeze (with no connection). It had the wrong (way too large) spade connector so I changed that, and soldered it to place before pulling the shrink tube over it. THOU SHALL NOT COME OFF
