− | The Airbath can heat up to 205 °C, which can be enough to melt the solder on a PCB. Solder can melt at higher temperatures than this, which can be achieved using the Air Pencil and/or Heat Gun. Essentially, the Air Bath heats up the board and the Air Pencil finishes the job by heating up the are of the part that we want to fix (because we don't want to melt the solder on the parts that are already good to go). This is where the Air Pick comes in. After heating up the part we want to fix, the Air Pick uses a vacuum to pick up the component off the board. If the component is too small, using tweezers to pick up the component is a good alternative. | + | The Airbath can heat up to 205 °C, which can be enough to melt the solder on a PCB.
