Customers are mixed about the quality of the tools. Some mention it works well and is well made, while others say it's weak, low quality, and broke before they could turn it on. The product is also inflexible and not particularly stable.

11 customers mention4 positive7 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the tool. Some mention that it works great and is small enough to stay out of the way, while others say that it just seems to be small. The fan is not long, it's short and stubby, and the large stand makes that kind of difficult. The tolerances of the design are absurdly small, and there's a large exhaust hose that doesn't fit the fan. The wire is definitely bulky and a little stiff, but didn't bother them.

"...The wire is definitely bulky and a little stiff but didn't bother me...." Read more

"The unit fits well in my work flow. I have mostly used it for surface mount work where it can be placed close to the work...." Read more

"...The fins of this fan are not long, they are short and stubby which is why it barely sucks anything...." Read more

"...Didn't rate it 5, because it is a bit bulky and I have limited space." Read more

29 customers mention4 positive25 negative

They also say that the fan doesn't pull the fume very hard, and the hands will still smell like metal. Overall, customers are not happy with the product's ability to absorb smoke.

"...depending on the angle you have the fan on or else some smoke will not get sucked up...." Read more

"...I did notice a slight motor smell coming from the exhaust area, and that the knobs that attach the stand became a bit loose and might need some..." Read more

"This thing barely absorbs any of the smoke. you need to have it really close to your soldering station. Are people really that anal about fan noise?..." Read more

"...from where I'm doing the soldering and I still end up with a lung full of nasty fumes...." Read more

Took my work area from decent to awesome with one change...
5 Stars
Took my work area from decent to awesome with one change...
This fan is absolutely awesome. It changed my whole work area. This is because I realised that the steel part that holds the fan up can be loosened and then a spool of solder and solder wick can be added... Then, after I realised I could clamp alligator clamps to the hood area around the fan. Using that idea, I now have everything I'd possibly need within inches of my hands. For example, I have my solder and solder wick attached to the legs, anti-static wristband, safety goggles, adjustable clamp, tweezers, and probably something else I'm missing.The only change I'd make to the product is, I find myself wanting to adjust the fan speed...because it's very loud. I figured it wouldn't be hard to take apart and hack so that it can be adjustable though...just haven't gotten around to that.Hope this helps someone!
