Well, with small SMDs and high density placement, trust me, you
wouldn't want to use a hot air tool for soldering at all. Even when
desoldering, where the tool is most useful, there are issues with
unintentionally removing surrounding SMDs. Yes, you can speculate all
you want but it's quite obvious that your SMD soldering experience is
limited.
