Review on Xytronic Handi VAC Vacuum Holding Tool by Josh Sharp

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wouldn't take typical IC packages

Wanted to use this to hand populate PCB components. I wouldn't take SOIC-16 or SOT-23. I dropped the vacuum placement tools and did the job with tweezers (200+ components, 0603 - 1206 and 29 ICs. Bragging rights only).

Pros
  • Electronic fans
Cons
  • So far so good
