Dear Jerry,
When I first unpacked the solder/desolder station I was impressed with it's weight
and feel. I fired it up and within a few seconds it was preheated and ready to go. I began to solder and loved the feel of the solder pencil. The heat is very adjustable and can be set to suit your needs. I have enjoyed soldering this last week. It's nice to not have the iron get so hot in your hand while soldering. Then it was finally time to desolder. The pump sounds smooth and has good power. At first I had a hard time working with it because of the pump staying on the extra few seconds, but after desoldering a few parts I got used to it. I just had to retrain my technique. Now when I use it I like that I can begin desoldering right away without unclogging it first. After I am done I use the cleaning stick and put it in the rest. So far it's always ready to go the next time I need it. I would attribute that to the pause mode. I have gone long periods of time between uses. I just push the button and within seconds it reheats to selected temperature and I am ready to go. After one week of use I am very impressed. It's a very good unit at a very good price!

Thank You,

Keith

P.S. By the way, there is one drawback. I am having to mop around my bench more often to clean up the drool.

I ordered the Xytronic 988TP. The product is fantastic and works great. I have been a long time user of PACE stations and I have to say that the Xytronic is every bit as good if not better than a comparable system be PACE for a third of the price. Thanks for offering this product.

Dear Mr. Howard;

I recently attended the NESDA/NPSC convention in Reno, Nevada. Upon visiting your booth, I was introduced to the XYTRONIC REWORK STATION #988. I witnessed a demonstration of its superb quality. I was amazed with the simplicity of the unit, and its fine construction. Most of all...I was impressed with the low cost of accessories! No longer do I have to pay $35 dollars for desoldering tips!

I have to be truthful to you.. I was reluctant to purchase a brand that I was not familiar with... But because of you & Shane (your associate) I felt VERY comfortable with my purchases.

Since receiving the equipment... I don't know how we did without them! The maintenance is so easy...tips don't "freeze" or "clog" And we especially like the "temporary shutdown" feature! The vacuum indicator is a MAJOR plus. Because we can tell when the tips are starting to clog! 

The tweeze tool is fantastic. I can pull SMD capacitors in less than half the time!

The "HOT-AIR" pencil allows me to drop SMD chips within seconds with no damage to the foil patterns or surrounding components!

I am grateful to you for taking this product aboard. You and you staff are so pleasurable. I am looking forward to meeting you all again. Thanks to you and your excellent associates...

Gratefully;

Greetings,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I just wanted to thank you for the excellent service in assisting us in finding the appropriate tool for our situation, the quick shipping (and great packing job as well) and the fine quality of the Xytronic 988.

It's been a real time saver in the shop, and the well designed ergonomics make it a pleasure to operate. I'd unhesitatingly recommend both the 988 and HEI to any other facility involved in electronic manufacturing or service.

It's rare in today's business environment to be treated so well by a supplier, rather than being taken for granted as "just another customer". We were treated like we were buying a hundred stations, not just one. So again, our sincere thanks and best wishes!

Regards, Jim from  www.analogbros.com
