Mechanic 857DW+ SMD Rework Station

The Mechanic 857DW+ is a dependable hot-air rework station built for electronics technicians, mobile-repair professionals, and hobbyists working on PCBs, motherboards and SMD/BGA components. With its 580 W heating system and double-turbine double-vortex blower, the unit delivers stable, soft and controllable airflow — suitable even for delicate chips and components. The station warms up quickly (about 3 seconds to reach the set temperature) thanks to its efficient heating core and closed-loop temperature control.

With a wide temperature range (100 °C – 450 °C) and stepless airflow adjustment, you can fine-tune the heat and airflow to match the needs of small SMDs, large BGA chips, or heat-sensitive ICs. The LCD display provides clear, real-time temperature feedback. Built-in safety and convenience features such as automatic cooling, delay-shutdown, and soft, stable airflow help protect components and extend the heater’s life.

Whether you’re doing rework on SOIC/QFP chips, BGA packages, or general PCB soldering/desoldering — or even tasks like heat-shrink tubing, drying, preheating — the Mechanic 857DW+ offers an accessible, effective solution for workshop or repair-bench use.

Key Features

• 580 W High-Power Heating: Provides strong, consistent heat for soldering and desoldering tasks without long wait times.
• Wide Temperature Range (100 °C–450 °C): Suitable for a variety of solder types, components and rework requirements.
• Adjustable / Stepless Airflow with Double-Vortex Blower: Soft, stable hot-air flow (≈ 100 L/min) from a DC motor blower ensures gentle heating of sensitive SMD/BGA chips.
• Rapid Heat-Up (~3 seconds): Station reaches set temperature quickly, minimizing downtime and improving efficiency.
• LCD Digital Temperature Display: Real-time readout enables precise control and prevents overheating.
• Automatic Cooling & Delay Shutdown: After use or when the handle is placed back, the blower continues to cool the heating element, extending its lifespan and enhancing safety.
• Suitable for a Wide Range of Components: Ideal for SOIC, QFP, PLCC, BGA, chips, and other SMD parts. Also supports heat-shrink, glue removal, drying, pre-heating and more.
• Ergonomic & Compact Design: Compact base and comfortable hot-air gun make it practical for small benches or repair shops.
• Soft, Non-Destructive Airflow: Double-vortex blower ensures airflow is gentle, reducing risk to sensitive components (e.g. BGA chips) during rework.
• Versatile Use Cases: Beyond soldering/desoldering — supports plastic welding, shrink-tube work, preheating, drying, conformal-coating removal, and more.
