YIHUA 853D 2A USB SMD Hot Air Rework Soldering Iron Station, DC Power Supply 0-15V 0-2A with 5V USB Charging Port and 35 Volt DC Voltage Test Meter

Very good

Excelente producto, materiales buenos y duraderos ideal para iniciar en la soldadura electrónica por su kit

I purchased the YIHUA 853D 2A USB SMD Hot Air Rework Soldering Iron Station almost two years ago and finally had a chance to use it today for a surface-mount chip on an AM/FM radio project. I am absolutely blown away by its performance! The station is incredibly easy to use, even without reading the full instructions. The setup was intuitive, and its most impressive feature is how fast it heats up. It allowed me to pre-lay the solder on my PCB, place the surface mount chip on top, and with a quick pass of the hot air, the component seated itself perfectly right onto the board. There was no frustrating wait time or multiple attempts—it was a flawless, one-try job. The integrated DC Power Supply and 5V USB port are excellent additions that add a lot of value. If you work with electronics, especially surface-mount devices, this rework station is a highly efficient and fantastic tool. I highly recommend it! 5 Star Yihua, I don't write many reviews, but you deserve it!!!

La verdad pensé que sería de menor calidad pero la verdad me ha sorprendido mucho, trabaja muy bien y la he estado usando en el taller de reparación de equipos y sin problema Solo le he tenido que comprar algunas refacciones como para la pistola de calor y puntas de cauting La.verdad todo muy bien

I'm relatively new to the skill of soldering. I have a TS-100 that is well used, but it wasn't able to handle XT60 (AWG12) wires, so I picked up this unit. Packaging is really nice. Built quality felt good for the most part, except the soldering iron. It didn't feel "solid". The tip kind of wiggled even while screwed down and none of the included tips fit. I even picked up some Hakko tips and those didn't fit either. Contacted support and they sent me a new soldering iron within a day or so. Just the iron, not the rest of the unit. Turns out with my original iron, the metal sleeve within the pre-installed tip broke off and got stuck in the ceramic heating core's sleeve. The replacement soldering iron feels MUCH more "solid". All of the tips fit nicely on it. After removing my original's broken metal sleeve, that one works too, although it still doesn't feel right, but I'll be keeping it as a backup at least. Managed to unsolder some XT60 wires using this machine with the largest Hakko tip I had (T18-S3). Unit takes a bit to heat up, but it's not super long. Sleep timer for both the iron and rework are adjustable. I've only used the rework for heat shrink, but it does the job well. As mentioned, there's a good number and variety of tips included. They seem ok, but probably should be the first thing you upgrade as their quality seems just ok instead of great. Rework station has 3 included tips itself. A bit of a pain to tighten, but it's fine. Haven't used the power supply at all. So I cannot comment on it. TL;DR: Unit had bad soldering iron. Contacted support and got a replacement quickly. Unit is great for a beginner/hobbyist. A little slow to get up to temp and didn't appear to have a problem keeping temp. Probably think about getting new iron tips in the future.
