Hi I have the 808 and a older 706 Hakko. The 808 comes with 2 tips and they are about the right size for most of the work I do. They should be fine for any rework or option installing on a K2. I use my 808 quite a bit and the tips last about 6 months to a year, so for occasional use the two tips that come with the 808 should last a long time. I have not received my 8030 option yet but I have not started the KX1 yet so I may not need the 808 for the 8030. I have several repairs and calibrations to complete and two K2's to build before I will get to the KX1
