I have read piles of reviews and praises for the Hakko 808, it rocks!
This we know.
Now here's what I'm wondering and can find NO INFO on the matter.
What sort of difference is there compared to the station based units, where in the vacuum pump is separate from the hand held iron.
Ex. Hakko 470/472 series.
I'm not talking about the new yellow+blue models, those are way out of my league in price.
Performance and maintenance wise, do they require less maintenance in regards to taking apart the pump when the filter lets something through, better filtering, better suction, more power, better solder disposal & cleaning, more heat, faster tip recovery time, etc...
I see that the vacuum pressure is the same, the only difference is the liters/min are a little higher on the stations.
That tells me it's a more powerful pump, but at the same pressure? *confused*
Any who have had a chance to use both, or can at least comment on the stations alone, please let me know your thoughts on the matter.
Thx.
