Just received some goodies for my new man-corner
Two 120x60cm rubber ESD mats for on the bench.
Grounding box
Some grounding leads and a wrist strap
ESD safe brush and cans with IPA and contact spray
Solder fume extractor
PCB holder
The box of the fume extractor had me worried for a bit. I knew it was a cheap unit (about 50 EUR), but when the box needs to remind you that it's "100% high quality" you just know all bets are off and you just start praying the thing actually works. Surprisingly enough, it actually feels like a decent product for the money. The arm is mostly metal and feels like it should last at least a couple of years plus it has a decent reach. On the top of the fan you can attach one of two included pieces. One is an adapter that lets you attach a large air pipe/tube/thingy. The other one just redirects the air in one of four directions. The housing at the end of the arm is plastic and has an on/off switch. The fan itself has a metal housing and plastic blades and it simply runs directly on mains. It seems to displace a decent amount of air without being excessively loud. It's just a standard fan so it should be easy to replace it with something of higher quality. Although this one as QC PASS written on it, can't beat that
My only complaint about this unit is that they didn't route the wiring through the arm even though there are guides all over the arm for that.
The PCB holder is a piece of garbage. Lots of plastic and most of it is warped. At least it can hold a couple of small screwdrivers...
