New toy: ZD-985 desoldering station.... Part1

Today the postal service delivered  a package.....
 Within was another box....

In that box was my brand new desoldering station.

It is the same as Dave from EEVBLOG talked about in this video
He was not too positive about the one he received.... His one did not heat up...
Worse, his tip did not open without the help of the cleaning tool which let me to believe that the suction power is not too good....
I want to state right now.... I did NOT have any of these problems.....
That makes me think Dave got a, what we call in holland, "monday morning item"
Lateron in his vlog he became a lot more positive, especially when he was using it......
His verdict was based on that you get a big bang for the buck.... Which I think will be my conclusion as well...

I turned it on  , and all worked straight out of the box.....

I ordered mine from a supplier on "marktplaats" which is like the dutch eBay.
After sending him an email I found out that I had actually met him at a dutch ham fair....
So I payed the invoice, a whole whopping 129 euro, and I received the desolder station today....

He added small gift as well......

Solderwick..... really... you can NEVER have enough of this stuff.... this works 100000 times better then the spring loaded sucker.... that one really sucks....

Next post I will write some about how i think it works.... but without a doubt i will find myself writing the same conclusion as David has in his vlog....

More to come sometime soon (few days... work will be busy today and tomorrow)
