RF4 RF-NO24 6-Slot Hot Air Nozzle Silicone Holder

Silicone Hot Air Nozzle Holder Built for Rework Benches

A silicone hot air nozzle holder fixes a small problem that wastes time every day: loose nozzles rolling around the bench. The RF4 RF-NO24 gives you six dedicated slots, so every nozzle has a fixed place. You grab the size you need, finish the job, and put the nozzle back without searching. RF4Tools stocks it for repair shops that run hot air stations daily and want an organized rework setup.

Six Slots, One Nozzle Each

Six slots let you keep your most-used nozzles in one spot. Most technicians rotate through a handful of sizes: a small nozzle for charging ICs and PMICs, a mid-size for CPUs and eMMC, a wider one for shielding cans. Assign each slot a size and your hand finds the right nozzle without looking away from the board.

That habit matters more than it sounds. When you stop to search for a nozzle mid-job, the board sits there losing preheat and you lose focus. A fixed layout cuts that pause. Over a full day of hardware fault jobs, from charging issue boards to dead phone repairs, you save real minutes.

Silicone Body for Bench Use

The RF-NO24 uses silicone as its body material. Silicone sits more gently against metal nozzle tips than hard plastic or a bare tray, so you reduce knocks and scratches on nozzle edges. Clean edges matter when you rely on airflow to stay even across a BGA chip.

Let a nozzle cool before you store it, even in silicone. Hot air nozzles run at working temperature, and no holder likes a nozzle straight off the station. Build the habit of parking the hot nozzle on the bench rest, then moving it to the holder once it cools. Your holder, your bench surface, and your fingers all last longer.

Where It Fits in Your Rework Workflow

A nozzle holder sits next to your hot air station, soldering station, and microscope. It supports every step that needs a nozzle swap: chip removal, pad cleaning, reballing prep, and reflow. If you run several hot air jobs per day, the holder becomes part of your standard layout beside your PCB holder and reballing kit.

Shops that train junior technicians get an extra benefit. A labeled, fixed nozzle layout teaches the right nozzle for each chip size faster than verbal instructions. New staff stop guessing, and your senior technicians stop correcting.

Check the Fit Before You Order

Nozzle diameters and base shapes vary between hot air station brands and nozzle sets. Measure your most-used nozzles against the slot size before you buy, especially if you use larger shield nozzles. If you work with a mixed set, a quick check saves a return.

Who Should Buy the RF-NO24

You get the most value if you run hot air rework every day: repair shop owners, board-level technicians, service centers, and training institutes. If you only use a hot air station once a week, a simple tray may do. If it runs daily, a dedicated six-slot silicone holder keeps your workflow tight and your nozzles in good shape.
