DeSoldering Vacuum pump

So think I'm finally going to take the plunge on one of these.

I know the Hakko 808 is supposed to be the best but it has been discontinued.

The replacement for the Hakko 808 is the Hakko F/R 300

But I saw this as well:

I'm leaning toward the second one since it has the temperature control.

But also looking for suggestions.

Also are there any Canadian retailers that sell these?

I have the 808 and it changed my life. Remove chips in a minute, resistor and caps in seconds. Also great for re-flowing header pins with fresh solder. Make sure you order some additional tips and filters.

You can't buy the 808 anymore

300 looks lighter in hand, same functionality.

Ok I'll go with the 300

Adam, are you ordering it from that site, or somewhere else?

 

[Vengeance]

Already ordered from that site

I got the 300 a few months ago. I love it. works so fast. It was alot more then I wanted to spend but after you use it the first time you'll realize it was worth it.

Yea I've already been using it a bunch, it's awesome, no more fighting with pins, no more fighting with solder getting it out of the holes.

I did the full 40 pin interconnect on a williams with ease.
