The cheapest hot air and soldering iron station I could find...

My hot air station went on fire!! So needed a new one,
Saw this on AliExpress, only needed the hot air station so the soldering iron is a bonus I probably wont use much but nice its there.

I have been using one for a while now. No issues so far. I'm pretty impressed by it. Slightly different model though. But very similar from jcd

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Thanks for the feedback, I have no complaints currently!

[@drgusman]

I have an older version of this station for 3 years, JCD branded but same model, zero problems and I use it constantly.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

That's good to hear thanks. My previous one was a no name which lasted a while, I didn't treat it very well which probably didn't help!

[@Gabo99]

Damn you have a new iron now you have another station with hot air, noice!

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I know, I have gone from using all the same equipment for the past few years to getting new stuff in a short space of time! Didn't really want to buy a new one of these but my old one went on fire :) I have a bit of footage I am going to upload soon!

[@Gabo99]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding The one with usb powered iron went on fire?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

@@Gabo99 No my old hot air gun went on fire, it was a very cheap one bought many years a go, managed to get some action footage of it burning so will have a video up in a week or two :)

[@bahrulolomabdulganiungad4223]

i have a unit like this one but the problem i have is the rework station isn't working like when i click the on switch it doesnt display but the solder one is functioning properly do you know how to fix these??? thanks.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I opened mine recently as thought it was faulty but there's not much to see, might be worth looking to see if the led connections have come off?

[@bahrulolomabdulganiungad4223]

Well i think i know what is the problem with my unit, because when i check the power pins only the solder responds and the rework one is dead... Maybe its on the switch itself...

[@dorfschmidt4833]

There will be grit voltage on those round connectors, that's really dodgy.

[@user-tl7ch8lm9m]

I am also using this product and I wonder what temperature and wind speed you recommend when using HOT AIR GUN in SWITCH.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Really depends what you at doing. My temp normally set at 400-450 for most things, again wind speed normally on 90% but down if holding small parts that could fly off but like I said depends on the job.

[@user-tl7ch8lm9m]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Thank you for your answer. I was writing about 3-40% at about 400 degrees, but as in your video, the FLUX didn't boil, so I put it on for longer, but I think it's because the wind direction was weak. I'm trying to repair the same parts, but when I put them on for a long time, the white lock breaks or the parts bend. I'm already trying two and I'm putting them together now, but I hope they succeed this time. (switch lite left)

[@anthonydenn4345]

Looks like you melted the hell out of that new port. The top left area of the board is also burnt.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Not as bad as your trying to describe but I am getting to grips with it better now.

[@anthonydenn4345]

Good stuff 😉 Some people hit those ports from the other side of the board. Less chance of melting the plastic that way supposedly.@@fixingmoddingbuilding

[@Gabo99]

Can we mount that station vertically? Im planning to mount it on the wall

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

It doesn't have any indents on the bottom to slide onto screws but I think it would be a good idea as the hot air gun slots in from the front or the top if it was upright.

[@EnormeEkoH]

now is 45€ after just 2 months...

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

That's annoying, might be worth looking for other sellers with similar item, I imagine they all come from the same place but many different sellers?

[@WesleysSparesRepairs]

i bought this and it came defective, i couldn't even return it and get my money back. also the soldering iron that came with it wasn't even getting hot aswell,and then i bought replacemnt hotair gun for it and it didn't work again so i think i might just save up for a more expensive ones.

[@tyronenelson9124]

You should have removed and cleaned the old lead free solder from the board.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Never had a problem before or since 👍

[@LBCAndrew]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding It's so you don't melt the port like you did here.

[@kimpanda_love]

This cheap equipment can burn down your house and town 🤣 Buying equipment that uses outlets from ailex is an adventure.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

The last hot air station I used nearly burnt the house down, kzbin.info/www/bejne/moXImZ6PotV6o9ksi=ZFp49S8RMbnccWWD that wasn't from Ali that was amazon, most of these are coming from the same place just get here in different routes. I know what to expect for the price, it's about being sensible and careful.

[@willthecat163]

IMO... junk

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Nice, IMO not junk 👍

[@WesleysSparesRepairs]

yeah i bought one of these and it came defective nd i couldn't get my money back sadly, also i bought a replacement hot air gun for it and it still never worked this thing is a really piece of crap
