This was sent in for free for the purpose of the review directly from the manufacturer and I’m sure many of my viewers are wondering if the Best-863 is still a good buy today or if there are better alternatives on the market for a similar cost. We’ll try to answer that question in today's video and let’s start with some of the specs of the Sugon 8650.
This is one of the most powerful stations on the market both in heater power and delivered volume of air boosting 1300W in heating power, with up to 200L/min air volume with the same temperature range of 100 to 550°C. So it’s already looking better in terms of specs with higher power and higher volume of air. And as we will see later in the video the Sugon 8650 is also more versatile due to the way the implemented the user interface.
By the way if you would like to purchase one of these after watching the review video, there will be a link in the description below to their website which is currently selling the unit discounted and you can get it for this special price until August 1st..
Unit comes very nicely packed and protected and inside the box we get the station itself which feels heavier than I was expecting, this is usually a good thing. We also get a power cable, an ESD strap, a bunch of accessories like different nozzles and a very sturdy stand for the tool. There are a total of 8 nozzles included in the package with a mix of both straight and angled nozzles, personally I prefer to use the angled nozzles because they feel more ergonomic and they can be very useful especially when trying to work under a microscope, helps keep the handle out of the way of the microscope lens.
Two of the included nozzles are the swirling type which personally I haven’t used before but I think these are supposed to give a more even temperature distribution in the stream of air coming out of the nozzle. So based on this unboxing, again the Sugon 8650 offers more than what’s included with the BST-863.
On the back of the unit we have the IEC mains input socket, no externally accessible fuse, and an earthing point. Strangely the label on the back has two ratings power 1000W and max power 1300W so we’ll have to check later if this really is providing 1300W of heating power.
On this side we have an integrated tool holder and this can work well if you don’t want to use the extra, standalone tool holder which takes up more space on your workbench. But the provided external tool holder really is one of the nicest I’ve seen.
First of all it’s very heavy, feels like it’s entirely cast from thick metal, no risk of typing this over, There is an integrated nozzle holder and this can also double as an active nozzle switching area, so while the nozzle is hot you can easily switch to a different one, I quite like how they have this clamp mechanism built-in so the nozzle is not going to fly away, and there is this built-in gap when the nozzle slides in on the handle to allow for the thickness of this holder, really nice attention to detail.
