Plus two for accidentially leaving the SOA, plus two for accidents
during soldering....

Friendly components send smoke signals or unsolder on failure ;-)

Hi Roger,
I'm a repair technician in Corona, CA. I repair cellphone circuit boards.
The best tool that I use for smt is a preheater (QK853), a small pcb stand,
a QK989 w/ SD04B base ( tweezer w/ soldering station, a usb camera,
microscope and a desoldering station. This whole complete setup does the
whole application I need to get my work done. I found a business similar to
Madell but it's called SMTmax. (www.smtmax.com) Once I bought this whole
setup project their price outbeat Madell by a lot. You may see the price is
the same on their website but if you just call them or write a message they
will POSITIVELY follow up and make a deal. ( BEST BANG for the BUCKS!!).
Hopefully this suggestion will help you out.

Paul
