Weller Tip, Screwdriver, 1/32" WP Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't get me wrong this is a good product but the Picture is Wrong so I gave it 3 stars. It works fine but it's not a Screwdriver tip regardless of the Name and Picture.

Weller Tip, Soldering, Narrow, Screwdriver, WP Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Item that came is correct but the Manufacturing Process has left a hook of the outer coating metal on the tip of it making it almost Useless as a Screwdriver tip. I really need the tip to be correct for what I'm trying to use it for. I'm Very Disappointed and have contacted the seller with this issue. I Bought the Weller to Avoid these kind of issues. When the issue is fixed and they send me a new tip I will update this. =(
EDIT:
So PTOMart contacted me and due to the issues they refunded the wrong item and sent a new ST8 out that shouldn't have anything wrong with it. I'm happy with this seller now. You should feel safe buying from them "even tho the pics wrong at the moment..." And they did send it fast.
So just to clarify the ST8 does not look like the current "July 10, 2011" Picture It is a screwdriver tip as in the title.
Thank You PTOMart for Standing by what you Sale.

"X-TRONIC" #4040 - SMD - ESD SAFE - 2 in 1 Digital Hot Air Rework & Soldering Iron Station - Includes 4 Hot Air Gun Tips - 10 Assorted Soldering Tips - 1 Extra Hot Air Heating Element - 1 Extra Soldering Gun Heating Element Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Based on features and cost, I selected the X-TRONIC 4000 rework station for my use. I ordered one and received it three days.

If you've never used one of these stations before, may I suggest that you practice on a scrap PCB that has both large and small SMDs on it? I used an a old, discarded printer PCB.
The soldering iron works very well and it's temperature controlled and is also ESD safe. As for the hot air nozzle, I removed small SMD devices with ease. I applied some rosin flux to the leads of a 100-pin IC and then I slowly moved the hot air nozzle (temp set to 300 degrees C.) around the it to preheat the IC's soldered leads. After about 30 seconds, I increased the hot air temperature to about 400 degrees C and continued moving around the IC, melting the solder. Using the "IC popper" gadget, I gently lifted the IC away from the pcb. The magnifying lens/lamp helped my old eyes to see the more clearly.
I found the vendor, The Mercantile Station, to be very responsive to questions and concerns had about the products offered, and it has a 5-Star service support rating. The vendor supports its products with a service center here in the USA. I rate the machine's internal construction as first rate as is the workmanship in its build.
