Hakko also makes an excellent soldering station too! I have that device
also and after using the RS for both the K-2 and KX1, then buying the Hakko,
I would love to have done them both with these tools. I have done some
updates with using both and what a breeze. Once I get the QTH moved I will

If you are trying the "solder blob" method and finding that it takes an
inordinate amount of time to work, try two things:
First, be sure you are heating some copper and not just enamel. At the very
least, make sure the cut end of the wire is in the blob so the end of the
copper is being heated.
Hi Bryan:
It bears NO similarity, other than the fact that the solder's heating the
enamel and causing it to melt.
This method takes about 3-4 seconds to accomplish while the solder-blob
method usually takes 8-10 seconds and is not nrealy as easy to accomplish,
though I still feel the solder
Thanks Tom.
This sounds fairly similar to the "solder blob" method, which I did not
find as easy as claimed - but I suppose I won't know unless I buy one
and try it out!!! :-)
I think I'll probably bite the bullet and order one.

Hi Tom, care to describe how you use it in that fashion? I found
stripping and tinning the toroid leads to be the only part of building

Bear in mind that the Hakko 808 is a DEsoldering
station, not a soldering station. It is WAY
better than the manual "solder-suckers" out there;
you just have to be willing to cough up the bucks.

Never! Once you've used one, you'd never sell unless slipping into the
inability to use anymore. I now have both the desoldering gun and the
soldering station... thanks to Tom Hammond's recommendations. After nearly

The WSL looks really nice, and I'll bet it's every bit as good as the Hakko

I don't' know about the Weller you mention, but the Hakko equipment is
