853D Solder rework station Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- I thought I would take the chance and order a soldering/rework station directly from China. I am glad I did. This station is the 853D and includes a 15 VDC power supply as well as a Voltmeter. Not bad for around $75 USD.
I just purchased this and I mostly like it. Heats up fast and maintains temperature.
A couple of issues that aren't deal breakers.
1. It doesn't allow you to measure negative voltage if you have your leads reversed.
2. When the heat gun is in use, it rapidly turns the heating coil on and off to maintain temperature and this causes my work light to flicker just a bit.
3. It did not come with the nuts for the screws on the heat gun tips.
4. The leads did not fit into the ports for the power supply until I cut off the shrouds around the lead tips.
For the money, it is a great purchase.
Cheap shit than ??
Yes I have been using it and I have liked more each time. I have had no trouble with it and am quite happy with how well it works.
Im looking at buying this device, just wondering if your one is still functional? Thanks!
Yes it is still going strong!
and how about now? :D
Still awesome! And working great. used it two days ago and I figure it was a great buy.
Did you have to change anything inside the box for safety issues? I see a lot of youtubers doing that for these Chinese tools.
Thank for the review, you made me decide to get it.
Got mine this week and if you have only used regular irons, you will love this! Rapid heat up on both irons. However, when using the air gun don't suddenly turn it off. When placed back in the cradle it continues to blow air until the temp hits room temp. This prolongs the systems life. The shrouds still need to be cut off to insert into the post (with nut on). They must have bulk produced this at some point and have a huge warehouse full.
I agree. thanks.
I have the exact same one. Some modifications I have made to mine was install the power switch on to the front, put a connector on the hot air gun, and installed an outlet for my home made solder exaust fan to automatically turn on when one turns on the soldering iron. When I got this unit though, it released the magic smoke upon turning it on, so I got a refund and got to keep the device. Of course I repaired it and modified it and love it!
HI can you tell me what you repaired.. I also got white smoke coming out of the air heating wand, unfortunately I waited to long to try out the machine so no refund available.
The cooldown is a function to slowly cool down chips because if they cool down too fast they could break. That's why it keeps blowing air and cooling down one degree at a time. It's a rework station not a heatgun....
Exactly right.
5 years later how do you feel about it? How does this stack up against a quality unit like from a Weller?
I''m a sucker for 7 segment red LEDs, but skeptical.
Its 2024 and I used it yesterday. The only thing I have had to replace is the pencil/iron the original one lasted for quite a while though.
I bought the same station but a newer revision. it's blue and yellow with blue digit displays. I bought it after watching your review and it works great.
Glad my review helped you. sounds like a cool newer design with the blue display and everything.
***** Search Ebay for YH-853D+
That power supply works great for electrolysis, by the way. It's nice to not have to worry about a battery. The temperatures are in Celcius. 480° C is the max temperature for both the hot air wand as well as the soldering iron which is more than you would possibly need for the soldering of electronics.
I bought the same station and had the same problem with the test leads. What I did was used my exacto knife to cut off some of the plastic on the end of the L shaped plugs. The material is soft and is easily removed giving you a good fit. One other thing I found is don't use the cheap solder that came with the package. It will not give you a good solder joint. Other than that I am happy with the performance.
Thanks I'm looking at this on ebay right now 😎
I just received the same model ,however mine does not have a toggle switch, for test mode and dc voltage .rather it has a single button, Re test leads supplied ,they actually do fit ,you ether have to remove the Knobs on the banana socket ,or alternatively cut the shroud around the test lead off(plug end oviously( ,i contacted the seller when i discovered the same issue and he advised that this was deliberate if the test leads where to be permanently connected to the unit the shroud covers the exposed terminal,if used on a Adhock basis then remove the shroud .it is quite tight to push in at first as its new but they will fit
thanks for sharing. always weary of cheap products on ebay. this product looks genuine. I will be purchasing...
+matter45 It really has been a nice station I have had it for quite a while now and use it frequently. Still no complaints.
i have now had it for a week and love it. Thanks for the review.
Add, did it work out
Hi I had mine delivered last week 2 days later the air gun stopped working in the middle of a surface mount job. I found during testing that there was mains power on the element wires with the switch for the air gun turned off, the earth connection was a spot welded stainless steel conductor and had failed at the nozzle end the thing that really concerned me is the heat gun element was faulty and making contact with the now not earthed nozzle. This fault made the metal nozzle live, I will need to investigate further to find out if this is a design issue or faulty workmanship please exercise caution when working on or with this device.
That's really weird I'll have to check mine out and see if it has that same issue with being connected to Mains power
@@MrBatbuddy did you ever get a chance to check that? what were your findings?
greg--did you ever investigate further? I am looking at buying this unit & would like to know if I can/need to modify if when I get it.
@@mtraven23 I have not dismantled mine to check that, but I do not have 120VAC power at the metal nozzle
I bought one of these also and am quit happy with mine.
I need the schematic on this Kendal . My pencle quit working and it giving me a code of n24 . Wish i knew what it ment . But my pencle no longer heats up. Does anyone know how to get ahold of this company ?
This station will accept a replacement pencil. I went to a local Electronics supply and the had one in stock for $20 which I felt was reasonable for name brand.
does the red digital LED/nixie readout display show the temp in C° or F°?
Celsius
Is that temperature in Celsius?
Yes
hi buddy its 2021 the video is made 2014 tell me do the station still works can you reply because i love to buy me one
Yes it still works. I did have to buy a new soldering pencil early this year as it burned out. But the new one was only $20 from a local electronics supply house.
thanks i got it working today
Is this solder station still working? any problems or something you don't like about it?
Still working great. No problems and I love it. Best $75 I spent.
Gday , good video , do you happen to have the model details for the 240v version (240v in Australia)
Is There A Difference Between "supply voltage" and "Power supply " ?
Yes, The supply voltage is what the main input power is which in the USA is 120 Volts AC. The power supply is a transformer built into the unit that supplies regulated DC power from15 volts down to 0 volts
thanks for the video. What is the recommended temperature, using the heatgun, to remove a smd chip from a laptop motherboard
Hmm not sure about that. If I had to guess, I would think 300 degrees Celsius, however you could check the data sheet for the chip and see what it is rated to handle. Of course if the chip is already damaged then overheating it shouldn't be an issue but installing the new chip you should use a soldering iron instead of the heat gun perhaps. There are attachment tips for the heat gun that Focus the heat only on the chip you're working on so that you don't damage nearby components
The type of solder that was used is also pretty critical in the removal. If the old typical 60/40 tin/lead solder was used 183°C is about the right temp so 200°C should be more than enough, providing you also use plenty of flux, however most electronics are using lead free solder anymore, so the temp is usually higher. The key is finding a temp that can quickly cause the solder to flow, while not building up a bunch of heat in the chip. It’s kinda a delicate balance, but you should probably be able to find what kind of solder is used on the board and it’s optimum flowing temp online if you do a search or two. Good luck!
does the hot air gun need to be in the holder to turn on? just got mine today gun works but hot blower will not come on.
+tgl030 No mine shuts of in the holder. Actually if it is already hot it cools down first then shuts off. May be a fuse blown if it is not heating, or a defective unit.
+tgl030 Not my personal experience, but heard that's a safety feature. I won't turn on until it is placed in the holder.
That does not make sense. How can you use it on the holder. It should start cooling when in the holder. Mine went bad the first day. I have to replace the heating element.
great video sir
great review. .. I have question. . can you use the Hakko FM2032-51 Micro Soldering Handpiece on this station?
I am not sure? If you can find a picture of the connector on the FM2032-51 and reply with a link, I will see if it is the same connector on the station.
I am in need of a new station, do you still use it? how hard is it to buy tips? and do you know the difference between 853 ^ 852? Would you buy again?
+buzzsah Yes I use it all the time. It is still going strong and it came with about 12 different tips so I haven't tried to get any more of them I only have used up one tip so far...I would definitely buy it again! As for the 852 version I don't know anything about it, sorry.
+MrBatbuddy Thanks for the reply.Have a safe and Happy NY
What color is the display? I can't tell from the video.
It is red.
I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy this same one. Has it held up pretty well almost 5yrs later? Any issues with it?
Yep still use it all the time
Thanks! I actually just received mine. It seems pretty skookum. Hopefully she chooches for a good while.
And now, three month after you bought and used it, do you recommend to buy this station?
Thanks for the review , I’ve had an identical unit for nearly 3 years and am well pleased with it. But like your machine it’s a 4 in 1 unit really, but nowhere can I find reference to the RF meter on the front. It does function in that it lights the display when I trigger a transmitter next to the machine but I have no idea what it really does or can do. Can you or anyone please point me to any info on this feature? Cheers.
I am not sure about the RF meter either. I will look at it more closely and see if I can make any discovery.
Thanks for the vid mate! How are the instructions? Are they at least decently written to make sense from Chinese translation?
Not really. I didn't save them of course, but they were vague and not worth much.
lol! I just bought the same unit from fleabay. 76 bones!
+Rob Fern i just bought one $61 shipped
Let me know if you figure out the RF option on this unit
Its a good station. I haven't had a lick of trouble with it.
Just ordered one looking forward to it any idea what current the power supply can provide?
In my testing, it can only provide about 1 amp, maybe a little more.
@@MrBatbuddy awesome thanks!
thanks
Is it a good station ? how much did you get it for ?

+Sebastian Garcia Yes it is a good station. I got it for $75 USD from Aliexpress.com
will it go down to 100?
Yes
Does this work on 220 Ac input?
Mine was 120 VAC. I think they make a 220 version though.
I have had a 220/240V version for over two years now. I’m happy with the unit.
Nice vid ,mate,,,
you got a manual with yours?
Yes, but it was not much of a manual. Using this station was really pretty much intuitive for me. It sounds like from your question you are in need of some info. If there is anything that I can look up from my booklet let me know what you might need.
yeah , when I went to use the heater it didn't operate. maybe the holder has to be connected? I also didn't play with the air dial either.
mike charette
There is a reed switch in the heat gun handle and when the gun is in the holder it turns off via a magnet that is in the holder. Maybe the gun is by a magnet? or maybe a bad connection in the heat gun.
MrBatbuddy After I watched this video I realized that I had to mount the handle to get it to work and turn that knob for the heat to come on .It works now and it actually throws heat , ouch.
mike charette
Glad you got it working
Leads will fit if you unscrew plastic insulator caps where it plugs in. Look at this other video where he figured it out... ya ya. At 4:25.

Is it a welder too?
I assume you're joking or if not no it does not weld but it does solder.
@@MrBatbuddy no i am not joking.there is a similar solder station 3 to 1 which they say you can spot welder too.i just asked ,but was not joking.maybe its not this the model i am reffering .but it looks like
@@aspergerhellasbn Wow, I didn't know they made one that could spot weld. yeah it's not this model that's pretty neat though. I guess it the spot welding model would have a rather large Transformer in it and be rather heavy. This one's fairly lightweight.
2 amps is tolerance not operating range
alguien me puede decir los voltajes de la fuente de esta estacion
Supongo que está pidiendo el voltaje del enchufe de pared, que es de 120 voltios, pero creo que también hay una opción de 220 voltios.
Salida de DC es 15.6 maximo
Best part is these are $12 on eBay so I’m gonna go buy one
