Decent budget friendly Hot Tweezers ?

[D_Pac]

Hi,

I'm after a pair of hot tweezers for motherboard rework, could anyone advise on a brand / model that's good balance between cost / usability ?

I currently have an unused Quick 236 soldering station, any chance there's compatible tweezers for it (I couldn't find anything).

Thanks

For budget friendly, Use your Quick 236 soldering iron in one hand and a cheap soldering iron in the other hand

For a 'cheap' soldering iron get a T12 soldering station - you won't regret it

Some temperature controlled soldering stations have an option for a tweeter type of soldering iron accessory they are nice to have and use but I have only used mine a few times when nothing else would work to remove a component

I use this method all the time and it hasn't failed me yet. MOSFETs from motherboards come off very easily without having to deal with hot air or pre-heating of th board at all.

Granted, though, my main soldering station is T12-based and rated for (supposedly) 75 Watts (Aoyue 2900 - one of the first T12 stations out there back from 2011 or so. ) So that handles the majority of the work, leaving little for my 30W Radio Shack iron to help with.

And yeah, I agree - get a T12 station. Makes work just that much easier.
