YIHUA 862BD+ SMD ESD Safe 2 in 1 Soldering Iron Hot Air Rework Station °F /°C with Multiple Functions

YiHua's Rework Station (862BD) I purchased one on sale for $100. I was not expecting it to be a professional quality device... I was wrong. Aside from the quality of the components, it performs well and has everything a rework station needs to be useful. I've used it on SMD and thru-hole component fixes and am impressed with the stability of the temperatures produced by the control systems. Non-volatile memories are provided for temperatures (C and F), and operating functions. Having 3 power switches (one overall, and one each for surface, thru-hole, function) makes the station safer and avoids wasted power. Heats fast... solder in ~30 seconds (575F). Setting temperature and airflow for SMD work is a snap. Choose from 4 nozzles to direct air over an appropriate area... YiHua also supplies the nozzles and a quality tweezer! Also supplied are 6 iron tips, solder and an iron stand with tip cleaner... they thought of everything. I don't think I could want more. Impressive for the price. As usual, Amazon provided the marketplace and shipped to me in 3 days at no additional charge... I'm a happy Prime customer!

Well made and versatile soldering station. I bought this for my grandson because I have the exact kit for several years and I love it. My hobbies include guitar and amp repair and this handles that with ease. Surface mount components require the hot air gun and this delivers the goods.

I've had my 862BD+ since August of 2020 and I've used my soldering station extensively since then. I do small motor repair and build controllers for other various devices, so I put this thing through its paces. I had an issue with the hot air gun recently, tried to fix it on my own, and when I reached out to Yihua, they not only answered my questions but ended up sending a replacement unit. The customer service is beyond excellent - who sends a replacement unit to someone with a 5 year old unit?! Amazing. If you're considering any Yihua products, consider this review as an endorsement of something a lot of companies lack these days: great customer service. The soldering station is killer, too.

I've had this machine for years, and it's awesome and have served me well as a beginner. I have 2 workshops now and needed a second machine to fill the other location, so I ordered another one on 10/26/2025. The new machine's hot air gun didn't screw in properly to the rework station, and the fan blew once at initial startup before never working again despite the heating element retains functionality. The soldering station & solder wand works perfect, however. Not sure if I got a dud, but the experience wasn't great as I have to repack & return the new one. I think I'll take this chance to try out other machines. I will still recommend this rework/soldering station to beginners, as it is a fantastic machine given the value proposition!

this review is my own, i did not receive anything, no discounts, no compensation, nothing. i bought this with my own money to use professionally and personally. i plan to update this review if things change. here is my unboxing and day 1 experience: 1. the quality of the packaging, and the product itself are very good. i was really impresserd when opening it. well packed and everything seemed very very solid. 2. first steps. there is really only one or two things to assemble. the holder for the air gun. and the air gun tips (note: be careful all the screws and nuts for the air gun tip collars were NOT attached and when i opened the baggie i got to spend 10 minutes playing "where did the nut go" on my hands and knees. assembly took 3 minutes search and rescuse notwithstanding. 3. top tip: there is a power switch on the back. dont panic, its working fine you just didnt turn it on 4. hot air gun initial thoughts: heats very fast, auto mode is a switch inside the gun itself that notices when its inverted. its SLOW enough that if you wave it around or something it wont immediately go cold, but fast enough that you can put it in the holder confidently. nice feature. cant see a reason to NOT use auto at the moment. gun heated to 700 degrees in less than 10 seconds. didnt use a temp probe yet but confirmed by tinning a wire with some 60/40 solder. flowed easily. maybe one tiny tiny downside is the gun is attached permanently whereas the soldering wand has a quick disconnect... 5. soldering wand initial thoughts. the base is very nice, solid powdered coated. there is a quick disconnect plug on the wand. its comfortable in the hand, comes with an easy to remove tip and a nice assortment of other tips. heated to 575 degrees in maybe 5 seconds, and then i turned up to 700 degrees and it caught up in maybe another 5 or 10 seconds max. this thing is super fast to heat up. 6. accessories: surprisingly decent tweezer. nice assortment of gun and wand tips. very generously sized flux and brass sponge tip cleaning tub. chincy but fine chip lifter. i'll be putting this to some serious tests very soon and will update as i do. so far I am very very satisfied with initial impressions, cost, and quality. 5 stars across the board today. 5.

This is a good hot air and solder rework station! It comes with the goodies shown in the Amazon pictures. Excellent value. One thing to remember is to check the spacing on these pin terminals and the orientation before trying to hook it up. These pins are small and can bend easily and usually that's not an issue. Some of my pins pins on the hot air device were slightly out of alignment and it would not couple. I looked at the orientation...very specific...and saw a slight misalignment. I corrected the issue and it installed easily. If you try to force it, you will further bend or even break some pins. This is general advice and true with compact pin connections. The air flow and temperature is easily adjustable. The solder station is easily adjustable too. I love this instrument! It's definitely worth buying. My second photo shows the goodies in the box...It wasn't jumbled up when I got it...I was excited to see everything! The unit feels very solid and quality built.

I bought this a few years ago now and I use it occasionally. This works very well. I do not use the solder that is provided with the device so I cannot comment on that item but the rest is very convenient. I use the air gun often for shrinking tubings and I did repair various things such as led tubes that use SMD components.

Cumple la función que promete.

Works very well. Heats up quickly and the sleep mode is efficient. The desoldering station also works very well for heat shrink tubing/connectors. Both soldering iron and desoldering air unit can be disconnected from the base if needed. Only minor complaint is the power button that is in the back on the desoldering side so you need to be careful not to touch the hot metal when turning the unit off.
