 Hi there, YouTubers. Okay, this is a quick video. The quick video on this time is on this little soldering station I picked up. I think, yeah, again, this one was off eBay. The 898D Plus. CSMD rework station, soldering station. So far, so good. I've used both parts of this piece of equipment. And compared to what I had, the soldering iron, the plug-in-the-wall job, this... What can I say about this? Ah, this was such a nightmare to use. Personally, if I never see this again, it'll only be too soon. But it's a sort of thing I might just keep around, just to remind myself of why I would never buy anything like this again. Just if you just use it every now and then, and you're not going to use it for more than a couple of joints, fair enough. Do you want to be desoldering boards, or... Yeah, girl, it's just terrible. Absolutely terrible. This thing doesn't keep temperature. It only takes a little bit of snot on the end, and that's it. Just, it's no good. The tips, they actually bend while you're pushing down on the joint. It's not really good at all. This, don't get me wrong, it's a lot lighter than this. It hasn't got all the... it comes with mechanics, and so... It's not great, but it's better than this. It's a lot better than this. And of course, with this one, I can turn up the heat. Actually, I just chucked both of those on now. I can turn up the heat, and as you can see, it's climbing. Now, I haven't gone and got a thermometer and stuck it up to the end of this to make sure that this is going exactly as it says, but that to be gaining temperature as quick as what that is indicating right there. I very much doubt it. I don't hear enough noise from the actual supply inside. I don't hear the fan kicking in. Like it's actually doing a great little work to get to this temperature that quick. Looking on the instructions... We're talking 40 seconds, 50 seconds for it to get to temperature, so just because that rate is up there, I would say that's its go-to thing. It's indication of... look, this is what I'm trying to get to. This is how quick I'm trying to get there. But in all reality, it's going to take a little bit of extra time to get there. I'm just going to pop that in its holder. Just because it's a better place to be. This is not the actual holder. This is not the actual holder I got with this. This is the holder from this. The plastic one that comes with this is all good, but to be fair, this has got a double ring inside it, and it is a little bit better for chucking that thing in. I'm literally just loving it in, which is what I tend to do. Sometimes I don't place these things. I just chuck it in the general direction it goes in the hole, which is fantastic. This body kit is brilliant. Absolutely fantastic. You know, you don't have to have it on full blaster. You don't have to have it on full wind, so you can use it for heat shrinking. You can use it just to warm yourself up if you want to. It's a bit nippy sticking underneath your jumper and turning it up. All good stuff goes in the holster. That's a little bit noisy. That's a vibration. I need to sort that out. That is actually the vibration when it's set in the holster. It does shut up, and it is quieter when it's actually being used in the hand. Again, I very much doubt if it blisters up to this temperature, like it indicates. Just because I think that the wear and tear on the entire system would just be too much for it. And you'd better have given it the 40-50 seconds that seems to be indicated in the little pamphlet manual for its use. The reason why I actually bought this one, and not one of the yehas, or I don't know how you pronounce it, but it comes in the review of the Atten, and the guys' is because it hasn't got a brand on it. I was going to write Simon's, because that's my name. Okay, right, Jack, but that's not my name, and it might look a bit funny, but I've got Simon's 898D Plus. Why not? Give it my own branding. Everybody else is branding it. But what would I say for the money, come and what I spent on it? I think it was £62, including the delivery. And it got here. I ordered it. I think it was around at £130 in the afternoon, and the very next day, quite early, it was here. I was chuffed as punch because I had quite a few mainboards that I needed to get some components off, and I was not getting anywhere with this. No, no, no. But I managed to do those jobs very, very swiftly. So I'm quite chuffed about it. So, yeah. Let's see, but that's not really a toaster probably, so it's not detecting it. It's got like a reed switch system. It should go down in temperature. But since I put it here, there we go. It's almost the way it sits in the air. In there, it's got like a little reed switch and magnet, and you can put it in and, you know, this extends power, whatever. So, yeah. The great thing about this is if you do come across a little bit of solder, you can't get into that easily, just any temperature up. I'm worried that it's been a bit too ambitious on the heat, to turn the temperatures down. And that's the fantastic thing about this as well, is when you're taking things off, your boards, if you are starting to pop them and make them blister or whatever, turn the temperature down. And always learn and teach yourself on real old boards that you've got no... It doesn't matter where you go wrong, because then when you actually get to a board, that's maybe not yours. You're not going to damage it because you're going to practice and practice on something that didn't really matter too much. So, there you go. As you'll notice with this, even if I switch it up there and it switches until it's cooled itself down to temperature, it just doesn't stay there. Yeah, I'm wondering actually, if there's maybe a little bit of a fault there or something I might have to get into and just do a little bit of adjustment or whatever. I'm actually putting this in the cradle, as I should. Maybe somebody can pass comment, let me know what I'm doing there. OK, that's it. Sure, this may strip it apart, may not, or depends. Give me some comments on it and I'll see if I'll take another part. Give it a bit of a tear down. OK, people, take it easy. Bye, folks. Bye, y'all.
