Hi all,
at my lab we are considering some cheap hot air station models to buy. We plan to use them about, let's say, once a month, to desolder high pin count chips or to try soldering exposed pads (the ones which are on the bottom of chips).
There are many models in the range of about 200€, but we don't know how they are, if they are quite reliable or if we must move to a higher budget range.
Does anyone have used, for example, Aoyue products? Aoyue Sirocco or 2738?
Thanks,
Sandro
