Review on Efficient Soldering Rework Hand Pieces: Metcal MX 5210 by Kipp Amundson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good hardware: Soldering stations

Works very well. Dual ports are handy, especially for removing passive SMD elements when you don't have tweezers. This block heats up in a few seconds and the instrument falls asleep in the stand to extend the life of the handpiece. Buyers should be aware that for really small nibs you will need an "extra fine" nib, which is not included in this kit.

Pros
  • Improved process control with Smart Heat technology
Cons
  • Expensive
