Yeah, the Hakko 808 kit provides a 'sock' for the heating element of the 
808. It even his in internal coiled (spring-like) devise which helps to 
hold the 'sock' open and to kinda protect it against direct hear from the 
heating element.

What's be nice would be a stand-type holder which would hold the gun, BUT 
NOT cause it to lose heat...
