Product Reviews:
This is a great product, especially for the price. It works great; and the value is unmatched next to others I have looked at. Vendor is also excellent to work with.
Based on features and cost, I selected the X-TRONIC 4000 rework station for my use. I ordered one and received it three days.
If you've never used one of these stations before, may I suggest that you practice on a piece PCB that has both large and small SMDs on it? I used an a old, discarded printer PCB.
The soldering iron works very resourcefully and it's temperature controlled and is also ESD safe. As for the hot air nozzle, I removed small SMD devices with effortlessness. I applied some rosin flux to the leads of a 100-pin IC and then I slowly moved the hot air nozzle (temp set to 300 degrees C.) around the it to preheat the IC's soldered lead. After about 30 seconds, I increased the hot air temperature to around 400 degrees C and continued moving around the IC, melting the solder. Using the "IC popper" gadget, I gently lifted the IC away from the pcb. The magnify lens/lamp helped my old eyes to see the more clearly.
I found the vendor, The Mercantile Station, to be very responsive to question and concerns had about the products offered, and it has a 5-Star service support rating. The vendor supports its products next to a service center here in the USA. I rate the machine's internal construction as first rate as is the workmanship in its build.
Purchased this for my Son who is 26, he loves it and said he has never worked beside such a wonderful soldering gun. He mentioned that he never had a soldering gun, that even comes close to what this can do, in control of the heat.
cheap but low quality
The soldering gun has serious connection problem, have to be tuned watchfully to make it work. Temperature indicator keep increasing if the soldering gun is not connected.
Wonderful soldering station
I bought this item because I wanted to build transceiver that had various tiny surface mounted devices.
