My aliexpress.com store new hot air tool just arrived so I can do some SMT repairs again.

Watch this space for a review of this one.
My other hot air tool popped the heater, and then the next 2 as well. There may be a heater control fault but I also feel the air pump does not push as much air as it used to do.

The first thing I have noticed with this new tool, even before plugging it in, is the control panel is the wrong way up for my liking. It is laid out in the way that you have to point the hot end towards you to read it. Surely it would be better to have it readable when pointing away from you?????

I bought the Atten ST862D, after my Hioki died. its a high quality very accurate hot air gun. It's a bit dearer than the YIHUA but it works very well.
