Hot Air Rework Station (700W Digital)
Remove and replace SMD components without destroying the board underneath. This 700W hot air rework station gives you adjustable temperature (100-500C), variable airflow, and 3 preset channels so you can dial in settings for different jobs and recall them instantly. Digital display shows temperature and airflow in real time.
Project idea: Recover a bricked ESP32 module by reflowing its solder joints, or swap a damaged USB-C port on a game controller. Save your reflow profile (350C, medium airflow) to channel 1 and your desoldering profile (400C, high airflow) to channel 2.
Key Features
- 700W heating element: reaches working temperature fast and maintains it during extended rework sessions
- Adjustable temperature 100-500C (212-932F): covers lead-free solder reflow through heat-shrink and plastic forming
- Variable airflow control: reduce airflow for small QFP pins, increase it for large BGA packages
- 3 preset channels: save your most-used temperature/airflow combos and switch between them with one button
- Digital display: live temperature and airflow readings, no guesswork
- Includes multiple nozzle sizes: round and flat nozzles for targeting specific component footprints
- C/F conversion toggle: use whichever unit matches your solder paste datasheet
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this for SMD soldering, not just rework?
Yes. Hot air is a valid way to solder new SMD components, especially for small passives (0603, 0402) and QFN/QFP packages. Apply solder paste to the pads, place the component, and reflow with hot air. It is slower than a reflow oven for full boards, but perfect for one-off builds and prototypes.
What nozzles are included and do I need extras?
Most 700W stations ship with 3-4 round nozzles (various diameters) and sometimes a flat nozzle. For targeted work on specific IC packages, aftermarket nozzle kits are available and inexpensive. A 5mm round nozzle covers most small component work.
Will this damage nearby components when I am reworking one chip?
Use the smallest nozzle that covers your target component, keep airflow low enough to avoid blowing small parts off adjacent pads, and apply Kapton tape over nearby components as a heat shield. With practice and the right nozzle, you can rework individual chips without disturbing their neighbors.
