Don - I wasn't able to find the A1394 tip at your suggested link. I
even used their Quick Search with no joy. I think I could use one of
those tips, too.

The Hakko A1394 extra long 1.0mm nozzle does a good job with the close
clearances found in the KX1. You can purchase he tips at
www.hmcelectronics.com and a variety of other places.
This long slender is not for normal use, but its long reach is necessary for
use in close quarters such as when doing the de-soldering for the KXB3080
option.

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?
