![]() 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. ![]() ![]() And yeah, I agree - get a T12 station. Makes work just that much easier. |
