[Elecraft] Hakko 808 Tips

[Robert McGwier]

You mean tips for the 936?  The 808 I have is a one size fits all and
it is strictly for plate through holes unless great care is taken.
For SMD I would use solder wick and/or a cutting tool!

Those are both great tools.  At the same time get some tiny solder.
I use 0.015 and 0.020 for kit building.  With 0.015 it is pretty hard
to flow too much solder unless you are really trying.

I'm ready to pick up the phone to order both a soldering station and 
the 808 de-soldering tool, but I'm stuck where I was the last time I 
was ready to do this -- I don't know what tips to order for the 808! 
There are some excellent notes on the website re  the 936, so it 
looks like I want to buy a 1.2D, 2.4D, 3.2D, and S3. Right? 

Do I need a stand for the 808? 
 
BTW -- kiesub seems to have the best price on all of this stuff -- 
at least 10% below test equipment.net.
