I have to start by saying that I was not expecting this item to be great considering the price point, however it looked good enough to help in replacing some surface mount chips and assemble some small boards. I had looked at some other stations and wanted something small enough to easily work with and again this appeared to fit my requirements. The unit arrived very quickly and so I had to give it a try. I found some old boards that worked but was prepared to bin after removing and replacing some devices. Armed with some Google info I set about using this rework station. My first impressions were good as to how the unit was made, the control unit is metal and has a solid feel and the gun tool was well balanced and a really good size for ones hand. I thought just to be sure to check the hot air temp and selected 175 C as the temp. According to my external measurement device the temperature was 173 C at 50% air flow setting which I thought was really good. The device is really quite in use and heats up and cools with reasonable speed. Overall I am highly impressed with my purchase and would recommend to anyone needing this facility at a low cost to give it a go.Read full review

Having used soldering irons most of my 70+ years (many in a professional context) I thought I'd have to try one of these new devices and I was pleasantly surprised. As well as soldering components it has so many other uses. As the temperature can be set from 100° to 450° at the bottom setting it could be used for drying paint, at 250° for heat shrink sleaving, and many other uses that require concentrated heat. The build quality is excellent; a metal chassis; I was expecting plastic for that price, and the whole thing works well. The only thing I can see that would wear out is the element and these are available from China for just a few pounds. All in all, a very useful and versatile tool.

When you buy a tool like this at that price, you don't expect the best quality. I've heard a few horror stories about 858D clones (there are a few videos on YouTube) but I am happy to say there were no such problems with the unit I received. It came with a proper UK mains plug, I was expecting a hastily-converted Far Eastern unit. The metal barrel of the heat gun itself was connected to earth (unlike some cheaper examples) but I still opened it up to check for any dodgy wiring. All very neat and tidy inside, everything connected to where it should be. Also, it appears to work perfectly. I didn't imagine I would find a better quality 858D clone for anything like this price.

I had to replace the bios chip in my laptop, therefore removing the old one and fitting a new one after I had reprogrammed it. This equipment is a must have for circuit board work, soldering either single or multiple terminals. It can be used for so much more as it has adjustable heat and fan settings. I cannot praise this equipment enough, as it made a difficult task very easy. Absolutely Great
