Quoted from nerdygrrl:That's good to know. I've heard great things about their stuff. I just had a local buddy that teaches electrical engineering reach out and offer me his on loan. I dodged a bullet for now, but this is definitely at the top of my list when I get my Q3 bonus.
Hakko doesn't make the 808 anymore it's been replaced with the FR-300. Got me one last fall and admittedly I haven't used it much yet but let me tell you it is a life saver. And now paired with the Hakko FX-888D that I FINALLY was able to purchase my board work jobs are now much easier and of better quality as well. Both of them worth every penny.
