Hi

Wait till you try it on the 22 ga wire in the KPA100 - works even better =
- if that is possible.

Don,
I just tried this with my Hakko 808.  This is truly awesome!  The result =20
is a perfectly stripped and tinned lead in about 5 seconds.  Clean, debri=
s =20
and residue free, the leads come out bright and shiny.  The transition =20
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 =20
808 simply has to be the easiest, cleanest method.  I cannot imagine any =20
better results!

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

Now if we could come up with a way to WIND them as simple as stripping =20
them!

If I only had this when building K2 #2033.  But, then there's a KPA/100 =20
awaiting attention...

Hi

It is also the best way to strip the toroid leads. Just cut the lead abou=
t =20
1 in long, stick the lead up into the nozzle, apply a little solder, wait=
 =20
about 5 or 6 seconds and pull the trigger. Perfectly stripped and tined =20
leads right up next to the core.
