Key Features

• 2-in-1 Hot Air Rework + Soldering Station: Combines a 110W soldering iron (200–480°C) and a hot air rework gun (100–480°C) with adjustable airflow in a single compact unit. Handle through-hole soldering, SMD rework, and component removal without switching between separate stations.
• 110W High-Power Soldering Iron: The upgraded 110W iron delivers faster heat-up and better thermal recovery on ground planes, thick copper pours, and lead-free solder. Temperature range 200–480°C with PID control for precise, stable operation on everything from delicate components to heavy joints.
• Dynamic LCD Display: The LCD shows real-time information for both tools simultaneously — soldering iron power level, actual and set temperatures, hot air airflow level, active preset channel, and the settings menu. One screen tells you everything about both tools at a glance.
• 3 Configurable Memory Presets: Store three complete profiles (iron temperature, hot air temperature, airflow level) and switch between them with a button press. Set one for lead-free SMD, one for leaded through-hole, one for delicate connector work — whatever suits your bench.
• PID Temperature Control with Calibration: Precision PID regulation on both the soldering iron and hot air gun keeps temperatures stable during use. Digital temperature calibration lets you correct any drift against an external thermometer without opening the unit. °C/°F switching included.
• Sleep Mode & Automatic Shutdown: Adjustable sleep mode reduces tip wear during idle periods, and automatic shutdown prevents the station from running unattended. Both features extend component life and save energy.

Product Description

What You’re Actually Getting

110W Soldering Iron with PID Control. The upgraded 110W iron is the headline feature for good reason. On lead-free solder, multi-layer PCBs, and ground planes, lower-wattage irons struggle to maintain temperature — you touch the joint and the tip drops 30°C before the PID loop catches up. The 110W output has enough thermal reserve to handle heavy joints without stalling, and the PID control cycles quickly to keep the set temperature rock-steady. Temperature range runs from 200°C for delicate SMD work up to 480°C for lead-free and heavy through-hole joints.

Hot Air Rework Gun with Adjustable Airflow. The hot air side covers 100–480°C with variable airflow, which is the combination you need for proper SMD rework. Low airflow with moderate temperature for reflowing small components without blowing them off the board. Higher airflow and temperature for lifting stubborn QFP or SOIC packages. The airflow adjustment is independent of temperature, so you can tune both to suit the component and the board thermal mass.

Dynamic LCD Display. The LCD shows both tools’ status simultaneously — iron temperature, iron power level, hot air temperature, airflow level, which preset channel is active, and the settings menu. This matters more than it sounds. On stations with a smaller display, you constantly switch views between the iron and the hot air gun. On the 995D+ EVO, everything is visible at once, and you always know what both tools are doing.

3 Memory Presets. Each channel stores a complete configuration — iron temperature, hot air temperature, and airflow level. This is genuinely useful if you switch between different types of work. Most users set one channel for their default lead-free profile (350°C iron, 380°C hot air), one for leaded solder (300°C iron, lower hot air), and one for delicate rework with reduced airflow. One button switches everything at once.

Sleep Mode and Auto Shutdown. The soldering iron automatically drops to a lower temperature when left in the holder, reducing tip oxidation and extending tip life. Auto shutdown kicks in after extended idle periods to prevent the station running unattended. Both are standard safety features on mid-range stations, and good to have on a workshop tool.

Digital Temperature Calibration. Over time, tip wear and environmental factors cause the displayed temperature to drift from actual tip temperature. The built-in calibration function lets you offset this against an external thermometer reading without cracking the station open. Worth running every few months if you care about soldering quality consistency.

How It Compares

The 995D+ EVO sits in the mid-range 2-in-1 rework station category, and its positioning is specific.

Against lower-wattage 2-in-1 stations, the 110W iron is the key differentiator. Stations with 60W or 75W irons are fine for general hobby work but struggle on lead-free solder, multi-layer PCBs, and large ground planes. The extra wattage makes a real practical difference when your work involves anything beyond simple through-hole kits.

Against dedicated professional rework stations, the 995D+ EVO trades some build refinement for a much lower price. Professional stations like Hakko and JBC deliver superior tip ecosystems, longer-term reliability, and faster thermal recovery under sustained use, but they cost considerably more and ship without accessories. For hobbyists, repair technicians, and small workshops, the 995D+ EVO delivers the capability most buyers actually need at a fraction of the price.

Against other YIHUA rework stations, the 995D+ EVO is the mid-range all-rounder. Higher-end models with larger displays or digital encoders cost more. The 995D+ EVO is positioned as the solid, feature-complete 2-in-1 for general bench use.

Best Use Cases

SMD soldering and rework — reflowing components, removing and replacing surface-mount resistors, capacitors, small ICs, and fine-pitch packages. The hot air gun with variable airflow and the 110W iron for touch-up work together as they should. Suitability: excellent.

PCB prototyping and hobby electronics — building kits, modifying boards, assembling custom PCBs, learning rework techniques. The complete accessory kit means no additional purchases needed to start. Suitability: excellent.

Electronics repair and diagnostics — consumer electronics, appliance PCBs, power supply boards, LED drivers. The combination of hot air for component removal and iron for fine soldering covers most repair scenarios. Suitability: very good.

Mobile phone and tablet repair — flex cables, small connectors, shield removal, component-level repair. The hot air gun is essential for these jobs, and the 110W iron handles the follow-up soldering. Suitability: very good.

Lead-free soldering — the 110W iron has the thermal capacity to handle lead-free solder’s higher working temperatures without stalling on large joints. Lead-free solder wire comes in the box. Suitability: very good.

Arduino, ESP32, and microcontroller projects — soldering headers, wiring up sensors, connecting modules, building custom circuits. Both through-hole and SMD work are well within the station’s capabilities. Suitability: excellent.

Console and gaming hardware repair — HDMI port replacements, capacitor swaps, and IC rework on game consoles. The hot air gun handles most of these, and the iron covers touch-up. Suitability: very good.

Heat shrink tubing and general heat application — the hot air gun’s variable temperature makes it useful beyond soldering. Heat shrink, adhesive softening, and conformal coating work are all straightforward. Suitability: very good.

Heavy BGA rework on large multi-layer boards — while the station is capable of BGA work, very large packages on dense server or GPU boards can push the thermal limits. A dedicated preheater alongside the hot air gun helps. Suitability: good (may need preheating assistance).

High-volume professional production rework — this is a bench workshop tool, not a production line instrument. For continuous daily professional use at volume, dedicated JBC or Hakko systems are the right investment. Suitability: not recommended.

Getting Started

The 995D+ EVO kit is ready to use out of the box, but a few steps get you working faster and with better results.

Tin the soldering tip immediately. On first power-up, heat the iron to around 300°C and apply a generous amount of the included solder wire to the tip. This “tins” the tip, coating it in solder to prevent oxidation. Wipe excess on the brass wool. Do this every time before the tip cools down to significantly extend its life.

Select the right nozzle for your job. The four included hot air nozzles are different diameters — smaller for precision work on individual components, larger for broader heating on multi-pin packages. Match the nozzle diameter to the component size for best results. Too small and you’ll need too many passes; too large and you’ll heat neighbouring components.

Set your memory presets on day one. Take a few minutes to configure the three preset channels for the work you actually do. A typical starting setup: CH1 for lead-free (iron 350°C, hot air 380°C, airflow medium), CH2 for leaded (iron 300°C, hot air 320°C, airflow low), CH3 for heavy desoldering (iron 400°C, hot air 420°C, airflow high). Adjust to taste from there.

Calibrate after a few hours of use. The first few hours of use let the tip and heating element settle. After that, if you have access to a thermocouple thermometer, run the calibration function to correct any displayed temperature drift. Worth repeating every few months for accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do with the YIHUA 995D+ EVO soldering and hot air rework station?

The YIHUA 995D+ EVO is a 2-in-1 station that handles both soldering and hot air rework from a single unit. You can solder through-hole components with the 110W iron, remove and replace surface-mount components using the hot air gun, work on lead-free and leaded solder, rework multi-pin ICs like QFPs and SOICs, repair phone and tablet boards, prototype custom PCBs, and tackle general electronics repair. The complete kit includes 3 soldering tips, 4 hot air nozzles, solder wire, tweezers, and a solder sucker — everything you need to start work straight out of the box.

Is the 110W soldering iron on the YIHUA 995D+ EVO enough for lead-free solder?

Yes. 110W is significantly more power than typical 60W or 75W hobby irons, and the extra thermal capacity is specifically what you need for lead-free solder. Lead-free solder has a higher melting point (around 217°C for common SAC305 alloy versus 183°C for leaded solder), and it transfers heat away from the tip faster. The 110W iron’s PID control maintains temperature stability even when working on large joints, ground planes, and multi-layer PCBs where lower-wattage irons would stall. For normal lead-free work, set the iron to 350–380°C and you’ll have clean, reliable joints.

Where can I buy the YIHUA 995D+ EVO in the UK?

The YIHUA 995D+ EVO is available from Kunkune — a UK-based electronics retailer shipping fast from Oxfordshire via Royal Mail, typically delivered in 1–2 days. Includes UK Type-G plug, 12-month warranty on YIHUA products, 60-day easy returns, and free shipping. No customs charges, no waiting for overseas parcels.

The Bottom Line

The YIHUA 995D+ EVO is the 2-in-1 rework station for people who want to unpack one box and start working. The 110W iron is genuinely more capable than the lower-wattage irons bundled with cheaper stations, the hot air gun handles SMD rework without fuss, and the three memory presets let you switch between different types of work without reconfiguring from scratch. Most importantly, the included accessory kit means you’re not immediately shopping for tips, nozzles, solder wire, and tweezers just to get started.

It’s not a Hakko or a JBC — those dedicated professional stations are better at being dedicated professional stations. But for hobbyists, repair technicians, and anyone setting up a capable electronics bench without spending £500+, the 995D+ EVO delivers both tools, a complete starter kit, and room to grow — all from a single purchase.
