I need a hot-air/solder station - GSM-Forum

tinner105 · 09-24-2010, 19:00

I'm in the US, Calif to be exact.
I don't know how Iphone work...
But i started buying water damaged ones to fix them for resale.
I have a dozen or so that need repair
So I'm looking for a hot-air solder station.
Not looking for the top of the line model
but don't want a cheap one either.
Maybe the $200-$400 range
Just light use is all.
Ive googled, Ebayed etc... it's confusing to say the least
You guys know what works and whats junk
Help me make a good choice
spend my money wisely

Thank you
Tony
What i'll be doing with this is changing out the little coil that controls the backlight, the #1 connector etc

I've worked for about 2 years with a chinese bakku (100usd more or less)

if you want to buy a better hot air station buy a jbc:

JBC - Soldering Stations - JBC Soldering and rework tools for electronics

maybe you can find a good second hand for 4-5-600 usd

Personally, recommend Aoyue 968 to you, if you need more expensive station, check here

Thank You Both
I did end up buying the Aoyue 968. Its a combo unit which is nice for my purposes and what really clinched the deal was the built in exhaust.
I'll have to wait and see if it gets in the way of soldering but....
And i found it here in the states thru Amazon so it wont take two weeks or more to get to me.
Thanks
Tony
