Atten 862D vs. YiHUA 959D Round 2

I've already done a comparison video of the expensive Atten station vs the cheap YiHUA station, but I received a lot of comments about how I was using the YiHUA...less than optimally. So I decided to give it another go and see if the YiHUA could do what I seemed to imply it couldn't do in the last video. Let's just say, my discounting of the YiHUA may have been...premature.

I know it's been a while since I posted a video, but I'm ready to get back into it. That being said, if you have anything you'd like me to 'attempt' to fix for nothing more than the cost of shipping (and necessary major parts) please reach out to [e-mail]. Let me know what the issue is and I'll let you know if I can help!

Thanks for the tips on using the cheap hot air station! I have that piece O crap and mainly enjoy it for heat shrink.

Wishlist that Atten. It's nice. I have a Yihua but I'm ready to upgrade

One of the major issues with the Yihua 959D is the the intake for the blower fan in the handle is extremely restrictive. On my wand i just cut it all out so there's a huge rectangular hole. Doing that and also calibrating the station really ups the performance of the station.

[@FixMoreWasteLess]

Those are great tips. Yeah I found the fan on mine to be pretty weak. Even on max air speed it just didn’t feel like it was pushing out a lot of air.

[@E-raticWarrior]

@@FixMoreWasteLess Take a look at the intake, you'll see that a lot of the holes are blocked. I just use a box cutter and a flush cutter to cut them all out and calibrate the station.
Once you do that, it will start to remove those mosfets just as quick as the other station.

I find in the beginning of you use a fresh bead of solder or liquid flux with solder, it comes off rather quick.
There is also low temp solder for just this very purpose.
I've needed these techniques with better stations than both of these repairing military equipment.

Yes, the YiHUA can do the job. But, in taking over three times as long to do it, it is subjecting the board and surrounding components to high heat stress for a long time, which could lead to further failures. Most components have specifications for soldering temperature and time at that temperature, and the times are in tens of seconds, not minutes!
