No, there are some screws in the bottom to restrain the air pump and which must be removed else the pump will be damaged, and I've not removed them yet. Maybe today. Interestingly, it came with a magnifying work lamp on a flexible goose-neck and a base heavy enough it won't fall over, a spare heater for both handles, and a bag of tips for the iron in quite a few different shapes, so I won't need tips for a while, plus a bag of nozzles for the HA. I need to read the blather sheets again, the holder for the HA handle obviously mounts someplace I haven't found yet. Nice set of tweezers for handling teensy stuff, and a couple tools I've not yet discovered what they are to be used for. There is even a screw stuck in the styro that I assume needs to be used to assemble something. All in all, for $150+ship, it looks pretty complete, just add your fav 3% silver solder, a few tablespoons of water in the sponge and go right to work after proper assembly. When I do, I'll file a report. :) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
