Metcal BVX-101 - Single User Fume Extractor with Arm

Unimpressed

2.0

We have been using this for a while now and I'm not super impressed with it. We're looking to buy something else that perhaps has a larger suction, or dual pipe. The base seal is bad and clunky, meaning it doesn't fully engage and we have to prop something under the plastic to get it to seal against the square whole. Or is it supposed to have a gap there? No idea. I'd have expected 4 clips to fully clip the pipe module only the fan module. Ours came with 2. The pipe doesn't appear to create enough suction to capture air where you are soldering and where you put down your iron, so you have to select one or the other, and there are always some fumes when going to wipe after soldering. Bottom line is we still smell solder when using this at our solder station.
