I think I bought it from this uk company http://www.pcb-soldering.co.uk/index.php I use chip quik to remove smd components if there is a risk of heat damage to near by components or blowing small smd's off at the same time. you can order a free sample at the bottom of this link if you want to try it out http://www.chipquik.com/ Bazaa Title: Re: Hot air station recommendations?

Post by: infinkc on August 25, 2011, 11:39:00 AM i have used an old Oki brand one, pretty much they are all the same, they just blow hot air, its the tips that make the difference how they funnel the hot air to the chip. Not like a soldering iron where you can have a ton of difference.
