5.0 out of 5 starsVery cool tool!
By Mad Dad on January 29, 2012
I bought this station through SRA Soldering Products. It arrived promptly and it was easy to setup (remember to remove the set screw from the vacuum pump! There's a reminder sticker on the case). The hot air station heats up quickly and is pretty quiet. It's amazing to watch solder paste melt and flow. Things that were once nearly impossible to do at home, like removing or installing surface-mount components, are easy to do. It took me about 15 minutes of practice to figure out how to reliably pull some SMD chips from a junk board. One of the best features is the smoke removal tool on the soldering iron. It's nice to not have to hold your breath or have smoke in your face when soldering. Overall, it's a really great tool at a good price.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery good all around rework/soldering station
By 1HandTech on November 29, 2012
I would first like to state that I do not work for nor indorse Aoyue's products. They have viewed several of my independent videos via YOUTUBE, by way of my YOUTUBE review channel 1HandTech, and sent a free sample of this Aoyue 968A+ to me and asked if I would write a non-bias honest review of it so that consumers would be able to understand the functionality, perks and other values of this product, again in a non-bias setting. That being said...

The Aoyue 968A+ is a very competitive 4-In-1 Rework/Soldering station. This versatile machine comes in at $159.00 and puts it right in the middle of the lower price bracket for these types of units. This unit has many features such as a very powerful 70 Watt soldering Iron, 500 watt hot air gun, fume extractor, and Vacuum suction tool. The soldering iron that is included with this machine is very nice. It is a pencil type soldering Iron that fits nicely in your hand and is easy to control even in tight places. The fume extractor that is built into the handle is also removable so that you may work in tighter areas when necessary.

The hot air gun that is used in the 968A+ uses a diaphragm pump for the air output and suction. This is a very efficient and cost effective design for these types of units but at the same time does not make repairing them if they break very easy at all. The hot air gun has really good temperature stability and on my unit, have very good heat distribution. Having hot spots in the hot air portion of these machines seems very typical for the lower end reflow stations, but it looks as if Aoyue has figured out how to do away with that issue.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsAOYUE 968A+ Hot Air Rework Station
By davzski on April 26, 2012
I bought the 968A+ back in Nov. 2011 to use as a back up rework station in my companies R&D Lab.
Working for a major chip manufacturer in Silicon Valley, I found that the 968A+ was becoming more
usefull than the much more expensive system currently in use. One of the most usefull features is the
amount of airflow controll and nozzle selction. The one thing that I would say could be improved on is
the temperature range of the soldering iron. I found this to be a little on the low side and without
using the preheater along with the iron, in some cases was not able to perfom the task at hand.
All in all I give the 968A+ four stars you certainly get a lot of bang for your buck.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Deal
By Drew Morgan on February 5, 2013
Verified Purchase
This soldering station has a lot of features for the money, and they all seem to work pretty well so far. I've heard it said that "you get what you pay for," so what are you sacrificing by getting this inexpensive brand instead of paying 5-10 times as much for a name brand?

Having only purchased it recently, I can't speak for the durability, but I don't expect a lot. I use it only occasionally, so I hope to get several years out of it. I will say, though, that it came packaged with a lot of replacement parts--including a replacement air heating element and iron heating element.

The other major sacrifice here is noise: this soldering station is quite loud. The multi-function vibrating air pump is loud, as you'd expect, but even the iron heater electronics make a pretty loud buzz, kicking on and off as the heater cycles. The fume-sucking attachment for the soldering iron sounds just about like the heat gun, but it works well.

It is also worth mentioning that the unit ships with a red screw in the bottom that clamps the air pump to the case internally. You have to remove this screw before you use the unit, but that warning is well-documented and the screw is easy to locate.

Overall, I think this soldering station is well worth the price for an occasional hobbyist user: the fundamentals work well and it comes with lots of nice extras.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat station, very pleased
By K.W.P. on June 22, 2012

I also ordered this through SRA. Shipped immediately, packed securely. The station is simply fantastic value for the money. Clean construction, certainly well above the fitment and finish I'd expect at this price point. The tubing is all good quality and flexible (and was packed to avoid major crimping). The 10 soldering tips are cleanly finished and should last any hobbyist a long time.

A few things to note that you might be wondering about if you've looked at reviews of this station elsewhere:
- The soldering iron holder (not shown in the main picture) is designed to accommodate the vacuum tube, and has a side attachment for a solder spool (not seen in the pictures). It's sturdy and wide enough to not fall over even if bumped. Nice!
- The air pump is reasonably quiet, and produces no rattles or mystery noises. Bonus: when turned off, the unit does the right thing and cranks up, blows cool air until the hot air gun down to a reasonable temp. (Oh - the temps all read in degrees C). Likewise, the display reads "hot" until the iron is cooled down when shut off. Nice!

I had no problems pulling ICs, surface-mount resistors, or anything else from test boards. It's lightning quick to get up to temp (both sides, hot air and iron), too, just a few seconds. Mine came with an extra heating element, an extra filter, additional tubing, 5 different hot air tips, and the aforementioned solder tips.

It's just a great deal!
