## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5286:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5286:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

There's always that point in a hot-air rework session where you're just holding the wand and thinking "man I wish there was a way for me to not hold this unwieldy thing". You could try to rig up some sort of clamp assembly or you can get right to it with this Hot Air Helper - which does exactly what you need: hold that want vertically so that you can use both your mitts for poking and prodding components.

This set-up is an arm and shoulder-saver, keeping your rework from becoming a rework-out! You can steady yourself with minimal effort for precise soldering and rework. The metal plate weighs 714 grams (about a pound and a half!) and keeps your PCB from moving around so you don't have to worry about it shifting while you're trying to heat up a stubborn component.

**Some light assembly required. Does not include [hot air rework station](https://core-electronics.com.au/search?q=hot+air+rework+station) or [PCB holders](https://core-electronics.com.au/metal-rework-station-stand-with-two-clips-and-four-pcb-holders.html).**

- Metal Rod - 23cm long
- Large Clamp - approx 64mm inner diameter
- Small Clamp - approx 42mm inner diameter
