Thought it was neat, so I 'tried' making a short review/video. When I get better at making videos I'll make some for Parallax Products :)

    Nicely done. It's weird because I saw the Hakko 808 mentioned in a thread on EEVBlog forums this afternoon and was just checking prices about 30 minutes ago. It looks like a great piece of equipment and seems to get a lot of good reviews. People say it's very durable.

    Thanks, I was impressed. I'll post another video after a few months of use and we'll see. I sold at least a few people on it that do a lot of desoldering with braid and didn't want to spend the money on a desolder station, which is usually at least twice the cost of this unit.

    I'd also like to mention that this thing is light. If you factor in the weight of the tube back to a rework station it feels the same in your hand.
