Hi, replacing capacitors in a motherboard and SMD devices in general is probably much easier with a hot air gun instead of a regular soldering iron. I though that the hot air guns were really expensive but then Dave mentioned in a video that his gun was about $50, which is within my price range. So, I decided to buy one. However, as I have never used such a tool, I do not know how to understand the specs. For example - do I want more airflow or less?
Can anyone explain to me what to look for when choosing a hot air gun. I do not have a lot of money, so I'd say $100 would be the upper limit for price. I am planning to use it to repair devices (replacing parts, like capacitors in a motherboard, not soldering parts on a brand new board, so the tool has to be good enough for desoldering as well as soldering).
