Yeah, it seems really well made. Although there is clearly something tiny rattling around inside of mine, not sure what. Doesn't seem to be causing any problems, though.

I wish there was an LED indicator letting me know it was turned on-oh well.

There is an indicator below the trigger on the handle. It will blink red when it has reached operating temperatures.

Doh-! Not sure how I missed that. Thanks, and thanks for the recommendation/review of the FR-300.

Along that vein--Do you have a hot air rework station that you use for smd stuff?
