Unpopular opinion: hot air rework stations are way overrated for most repairs
My buddy Mike swore by his $40 hot air gun for years until it melted a connector on a board I was fixing last Tuesday. I stuck with my $15 soldering iron and flux, got the job done in 10 minutes flat. Anybody else ditch the hot air and just go back to basics?

Why does everyone hate on hot air until they actually need it?

Haha oh man, did you fry a board learning that one or just waste a ton of flux?
