Includes four different hand-pieces and soldering and rework cartridges, including Advanced Hand-Piece for SMD rework, Ultra-Fine Hand-Piece for fine access, a Precision Tweezer capable of removing components from 0201 chips to 28mm SOICs, and a Desoldering Gun for removing through-hole components.
