Review on 🌬️ Hakko FA430 KIT1 Smoke Absorber C1571 - Efficient Smoke Removal for Clean Workspaces by Ryan Olsen

Soldering fume extraction and dust extraction when working with wood are overlooked by many hobbyists. The reason for this is easy to understand: they're not adding any new features, which means they're not particularly interesting. But it's SO important if you want your lungs to function well into old age. I used to have one of the small Hakko desktop air filters. I figured it was ok as long as it was next to what I was soldering. I was wrong. This one is MUCH better. I still got quite a bit of flux smoke in my face with the old one, but this one took it all away. Yes, that means the solder and circuit boards will cool a little faster, but I'm happy to make that tradeoff. The only thing I don't like is the little mesh thing wrapped around the nozzle. I understand why it's there and why it needs to be as unobtrusive as possible, but it looks like it might be easily destroyed. No big deal. Also, I will say that the hose keeps its shape well but does not stay above the work area by itself. He needs a little support. Again nothing special but thought you might be interested.
