From London Hackspace Wiki

KADA 852D rework station

Status

Hot air part currently not working. Needs a new element.

Possibly one of these.

The seller claims it is (and sells a number of spares for the 852D so probably knows what he's talking about) so I've ordered one. He also sells a complete hot-air handle unit if that doesn't work out. --Artag

Supplies

It appears that Kada don't sell tips, you are supposed to use Hakko tips.
