Fume Extractors are worth it....if you solder A LOT.

Our classrooms usually have between 24 and 34 students in them during any given class period. Multiply that by 5 per day, and that's a lot of students. When it's time to solder, the air can get pretty smelly and overpowering. Not to mention unhealthy!

I got my school to generously fund 10 fume extractors for me. They are pricey. First, we used OK international's BVX-201, made for 2 stations. Nope. Using those for a few years did not help a lot. We decided to add 6 more units of the Hakko FA-430 with a Loc-line arm kit.

    HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE:
    We've used a lot of tools over time. Here's a bunch you might find worth buying. Scroll down, and each 'post' is a separate tool or material. I have, where I can, active Amazon links, to start your shopping process. If it is available elsewhere, I will usually let you know.
