I just sent the following to Jim. For what it might be worth to anyone else.

For the Hakko 808 Desoldering gun, consider also ordering a couple
additional nozzles:
A1394 This is a long (0.434"), slender (0.090") nozzle which will
allow you to get into places the fatter tips won't. It is
particularly handy when you are working on PC boards which
are pretty tightly packed AND which have some of their
components mounted on the bottom of the PC board with the
soldered pads in and among the tightly packed components on
the top side. Because it is long and slender, this is a
'delicate' nozzle, and probably NOT one you would want to
leave on the desoldering tool when you do not need to use
it.
A1396 This is a short/fat nozzle, similar to the nozzle provided
with the Hakko 808 when it is originally purchased.
However, this nozzle has a 0.091" inside diameter, so it
will suffice for removing most, if not all, of the
connectors used on most PC boards. Some of these connectors
use flat lug-type leads, instead of wire leads, which can
be particularly difficult to remove if you find you must
remove the connector itself. Of course, it also works well
on the larger diameter leads of big diodes, etc.

Ooops. I just saw that you CAN buy different nozzles. Since the
default one has always worked for me, I didn't even know there
were alternatives.
Maybe someone can illuminate us both?

Subject: [Elecraft] Hakko 808 Tips
I'm ready to pick up the phone to order both a soldering station and
the 808 de-soldering tool, but I'm stuck where I was the last time I
was ready to do this -- I don't know what tips to order for the 808!
There are some excellent notes on the website re the 936, so it
looks like I want to buy a 1.2D, 2.4D, 3.2D, and S3. Right?
Do I need a stand for the 808?
BTW -- kiesub seems to have the best price on all of this stuff --
at least 10% below test equipment.net.
