[Elecraft] Hakko 808 De-Soldering Tool -- Great for Toroid Leads!

[Steve Lawrence]

Don,
I just tried this with my Hakko 808.  This is truly awesome!  The result 
is a perfectly stripped and tinned lead in about 5 seconds.  Clean, debris 
and residue free, the leads come out bright and shiny.  The transition 
between stripped and insulated sections of the wire is a crisp, hard line.

While other methods discussed here previously at length work, use of the 
808 simply has to be the easiest, cleanest method.  I cannot imagine any 
better results!

Excited?  No, not me.... ;-)

Now if we could come up with a way to WIND them as simple as stripping 
them!

If I only had this when building K2 #2033.  But, then there's a KPA/100 
awaiting attention...

Hi
 
It is also the best way to strip the toroid leads. Just cut the lead about 
1 in long, stick the lead up into the nozzle, apply a little solder, wait 
about 5 or 6 seconds and pull the trigger. Perfectly stripped and tined 
leads right up next to the core.
