Personaly i like hackko for the fact that you can repair them very eazy,clome tips are avaliabile and they are generaly better and the stations generaly worck very nicely . But the reason why i also switched as well to jbc is the fact that it transfers the heat way better and usualy when i repair a laptop i can also use a lower temperature so the tips die slower . Also since hackko seems to go jbc direction with their new hackko fx 971 and 972 so that is a litlle bit overwealiming i quess.
So far I am impressed with the thermal transfer/recovery of the JBC also for the limited usage. I think hakko new 971/972 look funny and really that Monochrome Twisted Nematic Style LCD display is a dated late 90's vintage Hakko did not even go with a modern LCD display. I will prob buy a 972 and tear it down but prob just find 20 year old rehashed design in a new wrapper.
Bit late to the discussion but I am also mainly repairing laptops. What jbc station / hand piece combo are you using? Is the T210 powerful enough to solder mosfet ground pads etc or do you need the t245?
@@fabian11235 you can work very nicely with a 245 personaly only rarley i use the 210 because the 245 has a lot of tips. It is good to have a statiob that is compatibile with both .
Metcal is nice for fixed temp assembly line work but not if you need to change temps and follow profiles. Also with metcal having to change tip to change temp its a PITA when used for rework.
You don't really talk about the soldering experience, the reason people buy soldering stations... You also spend a lot of time talking about things you don't like with JBC and what you like with Hakko. Which I think gives people the impression you prefer Hakko. But if that were the case, why even switch? (you indicate you are keeping the Hakko as a backup) Obviously you switched because you do prefer the JBC (else you must be a masochist 😅), which makes the video come off as a bit of a fanboy rant rather than a review. I'm not saying JBC good, Hakko bad, I just don't think this is a balanced review because the critique doesn't match the outcomes.
Yes, I have a bias leaning tward hakko as i been using it for years, at the time of the video I was just starting my switch to the JBC! See my other videos on this JBC Adventure.
@@jvandervyver Not at this time after 3 months of dealing with JBC to get stations that finally work correctly I can finally use them and make my decision if it was a $5000+ Mistake or not.
i have hakko fr810b and last week buy Jbc hot air station,jbc is majbe better in nozzle selection,and it looks fancy but 3x price of hakko,its nonsense
@@MrSkar87 I was not a fan of the hakko hot air. For Hot Air I use the Quick TR1300A it works great, A Friend had the JBC JTSE after using the TR1300A he sold the JBC and got the TR1300A also.
How’s Hakko anti repair when you can literally buy every part to build a soldering station or desoldering gun available most anti repair places don’t sell parts to help you repair you entire beginning statement just killed your argument
@@Rhine_Labs Wouldn't that be because they want to protect their intellectual property? At least the new board will work without some kind of coding or needing to be paired (common problem in replacing modules in motor vehicles), or they will repair the board for you.
Hi, which station do you recommend between the ERSA i-CON Nano MK2 and the JBC BT-2BQA ?

I have an 703b and looking for info on what's the best way to use it. I'm a novice so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Just Ordered a DS360A Micro Desoldering Tool
If you get any spare time would it be possible to do a little review on it when you get it please. Thanks rich
@@SURGE101 see my videos i show it in size comparison but not in use.
What is the difference between pneumatic and electric, if I may ask? Does it mean a compressor is needed to go with pneumatic?
Pneumatic requires compressed air, pneumatic are quiet if doing a lot of desoldering the electric get annoying fast.
Thanks for your review
i will choose METCAL
Metcal is nice for fixed temp assembly line work but not if you need to change temps and follow profiles. Also with metcal having to change tip to change temp its a PITA when used for rework.
@@Rhine_Labs why do you need to change temperature? I always use lead-free tips for everything..
That's right Metcal is the industry standard.
@@andyandy7968 Yeah, why do people need to change the temp!
I’m very new to electronics,, why not the Weller?
Not as fan of apex tool group's offerings.
@@Rhine_Labs
As I mentioned, I’m brand new to this, what is the Apex tool group?
@kenjackson5938 the company that owns Weller.

All of them are anti repair.
hakko is super repairable. They sell all replacement parts on their website
This is why we recommended Pace

@@WayneSylv no schematics, no firmware or pre programmed micro, etc.
@@Rhine_Labs they are pretty basic not much need for any of that
@@WayneSylv Call and ask them for firmware or a programmed micro they will not sell it to you. Send to them or buy a new board only options.
