	Applies to product: 85-0900	Reviewed by Ian Styles	28 Jan 2010
Great product, very quick and leaves a clean pad and hole, I would advise any body new to the product to learn how to dismantle and clean the unit when new and cold! I have lost the cleaning wire and now have to use a piece of wire which is not as good.

Absolutely brilliant. I have a pile of old fibre glass boards with 40 pin 8052 processors, rams & Eproms, which have always been a pig to remove, usually with damaged pins and having to preheat the boards in front of an electric fire. The desoldering tool pulled all the solder as clean as a whistle, and the components almost fell out by themselves. Wish Id had one of these years ago. If anyone is thinking about buying one of these, just go ahead and do it.

Uses 30w. It does run hot, but I find that is a real bonus when de-soldering multilayer PCBs with thick ground planes. It might be rather hot for single layer PCBs, where a soldering iron and a hand desoldering tool suffice anyway. For single layer work, or multilayer with thin copper, get a plug-in power controller. I expect 23-4874 to be suitable. Excellent tool. Pays for itself in an hour. The heat is a bonus. I wouldnt want it colder for my purposes.

These are rather good actually. They run VERY hot, much more so than a controlled iron, at a guess Id say about 400oC, maybe more. Likely a 50W+ iron too. You have to be careful with it as it will gladly take up tracks and scorch PCBs. But saying that, it does its job VERY well. I have a hot air station too, and each serves its specific purpose. This is much better than hot air for through hole boards.
