    What are folks doing when using a Hakko 808 desoldering gun during a session, specifically when you need to set the gun down for a moment to reposition a circuit board or such? I don't have any kind of "stand" for mine, so I carefully set it on the workbench and hope it doesn't rotate as I move other things such that a cord gets burned or worse my hand does! I do have the "hot sock" and maybe I should use that, but perhaps there is something better?

    I actually own that 633 stand, and I'm pretty sure I bought it at the time I bought the 808. I was never quite sure though if it was safe to use it with the 808, specifically wondering if that stand might put pressure on the barrel that could be harmful (the back end of the 808 certainly weighs more than a soldering iron does). Not a problem in your experience?
