KADA 852D rework station

Status

New element + tips have arrived, I will bring them next time I visit (but that may be a couple of weeks).

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

Annoyingly, I later found these two which appear to be the same thing at a much lower price.

Supplies

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