I should get one of these!

De soldering is such an arduous task, that this might make it simpler.

I'll look into it!

call up there and ask them to sell it for their lowest price

ask for the Cash/Contractor Discount.

Now people will expect you to get more work done faster

Maybe I will buy a flash costume

PENNY, PENNY, PENNY, PENNY, PENNY.

Love that show. :lol:

Tell me how it works on multi-layer boards. The Gao-Jie is amazing on single or double sided but needs more persuasion on multi-layer.

You run into issue when one of those layers is the ground layer. I've adopted a hold-then-rotate method when dealing with those. That and using a good amount of fresh solder to tin the desoldering gun.

I hate to say "I told you so" but ... nah, I love saying it.

Keep it clean and it will serve you well.

#17 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 - 09:05

its like going from a hatchet to a chain saw when cutting down a tree

#18 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 - 22:05

used the 808 to remove and install a new Resistor network in a se/30. Man this tool makes life so much easier!

#19 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 - 04:28

I know it is. But its still a bit expensive for me :-(

Im too cheap. LOL

#20 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 - 04:32

Nothing like having the right tool for the job.

#21 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 - 14:22

I like to twist this old saw around to people at work:

They say many hands make light work, but the right tool in the hands of the village idiot who know how to use it, trumps them all.

Me has jealous. :/

#22 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 - 17:11

you are just full of useful tidbits, arn't you?

#23 Sat, 1 Feb 2014 - 14:14

hey someone should do a wikipedia article on the hakko 808

before i bought mine, I acutely checked to see if there was a wikipedia article on it..

and no dice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard/Introduction

I'm no good at stuff like that… but if someone else wanted to that would be awesome… like mcdermd or someone

i mean it might be the best desoldering iron ever made?
