Blows hot air, works well, heats up quickly.

What can I say; that thing blows really hot air. I got my first device and had problems with a soldering iron that didn't want to work very well. The replacement sent by Amazon worked perfectly. The machine comes with heating elements for soldering iron and hot air. I suspect the heating element on the first unit's iron was faulty, but since I had just received it I decided it wasn't my job to fix it for them and exchanged it for a new unit. I've used the device quite a bit and it worked great.

Pros
  • ◆ UNIVERSAL SOLDER HOLDER. The configurable stand can be equipped with a spool holder on either side of the station, and an optional sponge holder can be installed. The stand fits all available soldering irons and the included macro soldering tweezers.
Cons
  • boring packaging

For the price you can't beat this unit. It's really durable and if the vacuum pump seems to be out of order, just clean the filter. The kit includes almost everything you need to get started. I would recommend this, some messy Kester flux points and a really sharp chisel point. If you're using a hot air pencil, keep the air to a minimum for small parts so they don't fly apart, especially if you're using solder paste (you'll get some drift). The tweezers are ideal for small SMT parts. Keep the…

Pros
  • ◆ MULTIPLE TOOL CAPABILITY - SMD repair tool for removing and/or repairing surface mount devices such as SOIC, CHIP, QFP, BLCC, BGA etc. More than 50 sizes of nozzles available. Contains 5 nozzles (1124, 1130, 1196, 1197, 1313). Also includes a set of 10 soldering iron tips. Also included is a powered vacuum gripper that can be used to grip small chips.

Old Bearing - November 2017 Manufacturing Date

Original purchase - the unit supplied had a power switch on the back of the unit, contrary to what is shown in the current manual and photos on the Revain website. Revain product support was very helpful and provided an overnight replacement; Delivery on Saturday. Unfortunately, as said on the phone, this device is from the same "batch", with production date November 2017 - VERY OLD STOCK with the same problem as the original device: the power switch is on the back, not on the lower right front

Pros
  • ◆ SMART FEATURES - It has several advanced features such as: Digital display of target and actual hot air temperature. Microprocessor control with hot air heater rod self-test system that warns the user of heater core aging or failure. Digital calibration of soldering iron and hot air system. It also features an automatic mode with programmable wrap-up time.
Cons
  • unreliable
