Hi, I've noticed that lots of folks on this list praise highly the Hakko 808 desoldering tool. My question is: which tip do you all use?
I own a Hakko 808, and find it too clumsy with the tip that comes with it to be much use for Elecraft and other kit boards. For example, I believe it would be completely useless for doing the 80-30 mod to the KX1. I have tried the tool, and don't like it. I hardly ever use it anymore. I have come to much prefer 1/10" Chem-wick for any desoldering that I have had to do. It occurs to me that maybe with a longer or thinner tip the Hakko might live up to its reputation. But which one, and where does one acquire it?
