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.
