There is one thing I would add for stripping the toroids with the Hakko
808...Holding the toroid in your fingers WILL  burn your finger tips, the
copper wire conducts the heat almost immediately...Holding the toroid
with pliers might damage the enamel...Place the toroid on the workbench
and place a weight on it, covering only half the toroid and leaving the
wires exposed...The weight keeps the toroid from moving around, leaves
the other hand free for adding solder, and saves your fingertips...
