    What's the benefit of a station versus something like a Hakko 808?

    Quoted from centerflank:

    Just got a hakko 808 in mail today, cant wait to try it out.

    The thing is a beauty of function. Just remember to let it completely melt the solder before you hit the trigger. Once you get it down it's just amazing to watch it completely strip a solder point clean.

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for the advice, would hate to gum it up right away

    Also get this. After each draw or two I like to clean the tip. Any build-up slows heat transfer, and a wet sponge is far less effective.
