Hey Louis and Dave, I own a rework/solder station and have the same issue with flickering (fluorescent) lights in my workshop. I did some investigating with a power meter and in my case at least it is caused by the logic board modulating the heating element on/off in short pulses once it is up to temperature to keep it at temp. Taking the heater off the stand also causes my lights to dim, placing it back in the holder fixes that issue immediately (while the fan is still cooling it down). The entire workshop is on one breaker, separating the lighting from the outlets at the breaker panel should solve the issue.

Once again sir you hit on ALL the key points that allow me to justify purchasing a tool like this. So entertaining AND informative. Thank you again Dave! You are just flat out AWESOME!

I bought one on the advise of Louis, really a great product. I was following Dave some years before Louis, i'm glad to see this review on this product from Dave too.

Louis' advice: Wait for the chip to dance (move) before you remove it. I made the same mistake until I saw Louis do it. I have learned loads from his content You didn't seem to like the angle of the fan, even though you didn't criticize it. I think I see the method behind the madness of the designers. I think the placing of the fan enables it to suck cold air over the components that get hot before it gets heated and blown out of the nozzle at a PC board. Brilliant ingenuity. I take my hat off to them. It is always a pleasure to watch somebody who knows what he is talking about, and it is a pleasure watching you. Keep it up mate :)

I bought one of these soon after Louis's review. It is indeed very good. Compared to my existing rework station no contest for desoldering large components and BGA's and such there's simply no contest. Also Louis, is a great channel. He's a good guy and for someone who's much older than him I've gotten a few life lessons too. I like his cats too :)

Dave and Louis are both awesome. It's nice to see some collaboration between them.

It's great to see collaborative youtubing. Well done sir Dave!

Dave and Louis...Two of my favorites!

I thought it was going to be yet another noisy aquarium pump hot air gun , but I'm surprised. It whooshes very well

Hot air was one of my special skills!! Pre-heat bed and hot air gun and I could rework QFD devices, and BGA devices by hand, and I was tagged as the "expert" in my group. It can be a really really TRICKY skill! SOT packages, 0201 SMDs, of course 0402, 0603 and larger got to be a piece of cake.

Pretty sure Louis' issue is that a US circuit is only 15A @ 120V, so 1000W is a pretty good chunk of that. The big disadvantage of 120V and small (14ga / 2sqmm) wire. Not uncommon at all to see lights dip here in North America when a bit load is switched in

@rossmanngroup

It could be, but a JBC JT-A at full power causes zero flickering. Maybe the Quick is more powerful, but I don't think it is *that* more powerful. As much as I love my Quick I have to acknowledge that the $1200+ price difference comes from cheaping out on the power supply.

@ethanpoole3443

6 жыл бұрын

Boffin A typical 120V US circuit may be either 15A (1800W, #14 copper minimum) or 20A (2400W, #12 copper minimum), both are quite common though in very old structures the 15A circuit was much more typical since in the first half of the 20th century a typical household load consisted of lights, a radio, later a TV, and the occasional clothes iron or vacuum and that was about it outside of the kitchen. However, the tendency towards flicker really depends a lot upon where in the AC cycle the heating element is being powered on. I would imagine they are using a random phase triac driver, which means you can be switching on a high powered heating element right at the AC peaks with fair regularity and if your circuit is already loaded down or has a fairly long run back to the mains panel then you can get noticeable flicker, particularly with fluorescent and LED lighting. You might well be able to get away with swapping the random phase triac driver for a zero-crossover driver and resolve the flicker issue so long as long as the temperature regulation loop is not adversely altered.

I bought a Quick 861DA about 8 weeks before Louis got his... i'd been deliberating on it for weeks. Glad I made the right choice. Wholly justified by your review too Dave. Odd thing is I get the same light flicker as Louis.. keep up the good work :)

Not even watched it yet, but thank you Louis been waiting for this since he mentioned he sent you one. I have been trying to get a filter right to kill the feedback that messes with the lights since I got mine.

When you turn the holder around, you can pull the nozzle and have it cached in the cup. What for not having hot metal things rolling all over your bench. ;)

Yay, Dave! Atten consumes 280w and delivers 28l/m. It is standart blower fan, equipped in most of chinese soldering stations.

The trick with these is the careful application of heat and not damaging all the surrounding parts. I generally pre-heat the whole board slowly before going for the lift. I also have high temp silicon sheets that I use to mask the target area. It does no good if you damage the PCB or other components. Liquid or gel flux is critical IMHO.

I bought an 858D. But I bought it only for heat shrink tubing. I’ve got some good guns, but for smaller wires and such, they’re too big and overkill. Never tried it on surface mount components. It does come with several sizes of nozzles. The temp setback does work. Also, I got it on eBay for a bit over $40, shipped. Seriously, for $40, it’s pretty good. This model is available from a number of different vendors with the same, or similar look, with different names.

400C at full airflow seems a bit excessive but I can't fault the speed, especially for the big FETs. I've used whatever hot air station Sparkfun sells before but this one definitely seems worth the added cost.

One correction, airflow on the DW model is only 120 (like it says in the display). The DE model of the 861 series is a 200 L version (and 1200 watts instead of 1000 on the DW). And on the DE the LCD setting goes to 200 (as expected).

@modorangeorge4991

861DW has 120l/min, Atten I think only has 24l/min.

Finally decided to get one of these, after having it at work for a year. It's a great station and very nice to work with.

Probably someone already commented on this, but it seems there are two models, the 861DW and the 861DE. The DW only goes to 120 l/min and the DE is the one that goes up to 200 l/min. So the display is actually indicating the air flow in l/min.

I usually give the reworked part a slight poke with tweezers to make sure that it reflowed, then I lift the part.

I'd guess the flickering lights is from the heating element. When it's cold from being off or cooled down from being in the rest, it's going to surge the element at full power to bring the heat up as quick as possible, then likely PWM the power to the element to maintain heat. I see the same with my cheapo heat gun like the one you have. My entire bench is on an APC 1500va SmartUPS. When the heat gun 1st comes in it nearly maxes out the load the UPS can take for a few seconds, then it levels out to a much lower power draw depending on the temperature set

I also have this Quick Station. There is nothing in this price range that can compare. Hakko and Weller is almost 3 times the price of the quick. I have mine for almost half an year and I'm still very impressed. Unfortunately mine has a "beeping" noisy motor with high frequency sound -.- but beside of that if you searching a hot air station right now. There is no way around the quick

@quantumbubbles2106

I second this - Quick appears to be a truly high-quality manufacturer. My 861DW, btw, doesn't make any beeping or otherwise annoying noises.

honestly that temp memory feature on the quick is useful. I have an older cheaper model and switching between desoldering temps and lower temps for just melting stuff or shrink is a pain, many of times have I grabbed mine without thinking just to hit some heat shrink and its set at 400C

I came here to see the 858d in action because I just bought one and wanted to know how it would stack up against a professional machine. Thanks for the video. It really helped and I think I can do my amateur stuff with the 858d just fine. I just need to be a bit more patient. Great stuff!

@23:00 You need some Ceramic Tweezers dude. Nice device. As a hobbyist I'll keep on with my UYUE 8586 but if it stops working the Quick will be on the wish list. Nice video.

Definitely very good reflow station. I use it since four months and it is actually very good. Already repaired four Xbox One's and an Galaxy S6 motherboard with it.

I had to laugh at the "LEAD FREE" stencil.

I've used Aoyue 968 for the last 11 years. Had to replace the soldering iron part of the station, but as for that, it's been a trooper. My only complaint is there is some radio noise around 150Mhz and again at 155Mhz that interferes with my testing of radios. I usually have to program the radios to something else so it doesn't get interference.

On the wish list for sure.

WOW. I always thought you needed some special rig to remove those big BGA chips. This is so cool. The build quality on the 861 looks really nice. I just decided to get the 957DW+. It looks like the middle between the two models. It has the remote blower, which I like. I'm guessing that you could quiet the blower down with a bellmouth intake and some foam.

I use one everyday, love it

I think if you put a scope on the heater you would see it switches fairly slowly, that causes the lights flickering... just the branch circuit voltage drop due to the heater load. I get lights flickering with a temp controlled heat gun when the lights are on the same breaker. Louis probably has the same thing, needs isolated circuits for lighting vs high power equipment. But, as a renter, doing electrical upgrades is just donating $$$ to the landperson...

@micksam7

This right here. I have a different SMC rework station and when it switches the heater on/off it causes heavy voltage drop on the bench circuit, sometimes fast enough to get a nice flicker going on the bench lights. It is far worse on a 110v system with that 1kW load.

@theirishscion

micksam7 Bingo. It’s brutal on a normal 110v circuit with any other load on it. It does proper zero-voltage AC chopping (watch Louis’s teardown; they get the scope on it. It switches just like the Hakko or any other high end unit, it’s just much higher current) and basically everything else right, but there’s only so much it can do with weak sauce US mains circuits.

Yeah, and you can use on heat-shrink tubing as well!! 😍

The temperature can be increased closer to 500°C when removing components, as they are in all probability 'Cactus' anyway so the higher temperature becomes irrelevant, and use a higher air volume, so the removal time would be around 12 seconds. Reduce the temperature to no more than 400°C and a lower air volume when soldering in the new components. Of course, having clean solder pads and using the appropriate solder paste. I use AMTECH All in all a fair and enthusiastic review. We have come a long way since the days of TESA and TETIA membership

The motor may look 'wimpy' but you'd be surprised how much power a small brushless motor can deliver. For a robotics project we used a brushed motor of about 15W to drive a dribbler system to move a ball. This motor was replaced by a tiny brushless motor from maxon motors (i believe it was the EC max 30) which was just 30mm x 62mm, a lot smaller than the original 15W brushed one, yet put out an incredible 60W of power.

Compare Quick 861DW with Best BST-863, and with NT 762E, low price product to one category. Quick 861 DW and Best BST863, inside the same, the parameters are the same, but the price is lower twice at BST 863. Do a comparative review.

At one-fourth the price, the Atten looks perfectly adequate for most home users. I would expect that a slightly smaller nozzle would concentrate the heat probably increase performance slightly.

I was using a heat gun in my server room to test some temperature alarm points and noticed the lights flickering too, I think it's because these type of devices just modulate on/off instead of just adjusting the voltage to the element.

QUICK 861DW professional mobile phone repair and repair station, using brushless vortex fan, adjustable air volume, wide range, can be used for a variety of purposes. The system has the function of automatic cooling of air volume, which prolongs the life of heating elements and protects the hot air handle.

1:23 top right hand corner in the pop-up “screwing machine” lol

A really nice hack would be getting cold air if you press temp up and down at the same time

Radiated switching will also be highly unlikely as the unit uses MOC3041 to drive the Triacs and that is a ZVC Opto Coupler for the heater. Having watched Louis' video, The Hakko also created flickering so I would have a serious look at the mains wiring. High loads on his mains seems to cause the issue. Just my 2c worth.

It's funny watching dave do a similar job to Louis, but without adding 6 gallons of flux to the board before desoldering :)

All reviews said cheap blower not so good and only for ocasional work, but thats what i needed so i bought it for 50 dolars. Impressive, especially for the price. Now your review is first where i see how capable cheap one is. True its slower, but with so much headroom on the temp i dont bother i will be needing more expensive any time if ever. And one if best parts with my cheap station is it stacks perfectly with my other tools!

Here's my thinking.... You set the minimum temperature needed for the desolder and then adjust the power/speed with airflow, since the the heating power carried by the airstream is depended on temperature and airflow on equal proportion.

Actually, gas soldering irons with the hot air tip can do the same especially good when repairing something in situ. A good example of this is the iroda solder pro with hot air attachment

Hall Effect type thing. I inherited mine without the stand so was unaware they auto switch off when in a stand. Drove me nuts while trying to replace the voice coil on a big woofer. Damn thing kept turning off when ever I brought it near the speaker. Had me stumped for awhile.

If I understand correctly the 1meg ohm resistor from line to ground, supposedly for noise is something which was done to audio equipment in the 1960s-1970s. It creates a live chassis situation. I'd snip that out.

Two cable ties = 'Carnie Proof'

As for hacking it, I have replaced the firmware of a solder station with proper PID control as well as zero cross switchin on the triac. Also display of the real temperature vs. the set. Note that afaik the atten shows the real temperature only when it is in power down mode, when it thinks its up to temperature it never shows any overshoot, but when you then put it down, it suddenly does. Regarding the loctite on the ground screw, I have seen some where this caused it to have no contact as it crawled in between.

The quick uses a remarkably well-tuned PID for temperature control. Dave's experimental methodology (sort of vaguely stuffing a thermocouple bead into the nozzle) is, well, poor. I set up a proper jig to hold the handpiece with the thermocouple in free air 5mm from the nozzle outlet so I could test/offset it properly shortly after I got it, and aside from the time taken to bring the nozzle up to temperature, the output is astonishingly accurate. Within ~5 degrees for the whole range, getting more accurate as the temperatures got hotter (up to the limit of my thermocouple anyway) So when he says 'it must be lying about temperature, it can't be that stable' I believe he is mistaken.

Love my quick, I am pleased with the build quality vs. Price. No light flicker on my end. Only thing i would change is the lid..make it completely flat and a cool air/ no heat setting.

I wish it was totally flat. I stack my FX-951 and holster on top of it. I use magnets to stick the iron holster to the Quick top so it doesn't fall off. The top is magnetic which makes this easy.

Haha yeah, that's why I still love the hakko 936. Have a 4x936 stack going on.

I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the CH1, CH2 and CH3 buttons, I'd prefer maybe a left/right or up/down cycle button to switch between presets stored in flash. That way you could have many more presets.

"...just stick it up the clacker" - I nearly spit out my coffee laughing ;)

It's just like most tools and equipment, the more you use something, the more you can warrant spending on it. I think the cheapi would be adequate for most hobbyists but obviously the one that's 4 times the price is going to be better

initially comprehended the title as being a "quick review" at 37 minutes, it makes far more sense now that i see the name of the thing is "quick"

Fix my balls!

Just FYI, this thing is about 150 euro shipped from AliExpress. This is without a sale going on so you could shave off another 10-20 euro.

I've just got a cheap YiHua rework station. It's good for the basics.

Hello, you seem very knowledgeable of this product. I have this station as well and it's no longer heating properly. I replaced the heating element, and it did not fix it. It's barley heating at all. What is the most likely part that's causing it to not regulate the temp?
