[Elecraft] Hakko 808 Tips

[Tom Hammond]

I just sent the following to Jim.  For what it might be worth to anyone else.

For the Hakko 808 Desoldering gun, consider also ordering a couple 
additional nozzles:

A1394 This is a long (0.434"), slender (0.090") nozzle which will
       allow you to get into places the fatter tips won't. It is
       particularly handy when you are working on PC boards which
       are pretty tightly packed AND which have some of their
       components mounted on the bottom of the PC board with the
       soldered pads in and among the tightly packed components on
       the top side. Because it is long and slender, this is a
       'delicate' nozzle, and probably NOT one you would want to
       leave on the desoldering tool when you do not need to use
       it.

A1396 This is a short/fat nozzle, similar to the nozzle provided
       with the Hakko 808 when it is originally purchased.
       However, this nozzle has a 0.091" inside diameter, so it
       will suffice for removing most, if not all, of the
       connectors used on most PC boards. Some of these connectors
       use flat lug-type leads, instead of wire leads, which can
       be particularly difficult to remove if you find you must
       remove the connector itself. Of course, it also works well
       on the larger diameter leads of big diodes, etc.
