Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a Quick 861DW hot air station for motherboard / GPU repair work, and I found what seems to be the highest-rated / most sold listing on AliExpress.

The seller has:

• ~150+ sold
• good reviews
• customer teardown photos
• branding looks correct externally

One reviewer even opened the unit and posted internal pictures (attached).

I know there are a lot of fake / clone 861DW stations out there, so I wanted to ask people here who own an original Quick:

• Does this internal layout look authentic?
• Does the blower / PCB / wiring match the real Quick 861DW?
• Anything suspicious you notice?
• Has anyone here bought a genuine Quick from AliExpress successfully?

I’d really appreciate opinions from people experienced with microsoldering / board repair. Thanks!
