Just got this from B+D on Ebay. Since I'll be doing a lot of desoldering and the EPM chips on my Plasma have a huge GND plane around it getting the high temp solder to flow easily enough to remove it with solder wick or the old bulb type suction just won't cut it. I read and did a lot of research on Desoldering guns and for the money this seemed the best bet. Will try it in an hour or so while it warms up from being outside on my porch all day. For 178 bucks it seems more reliable than the 130 dollar Aoeyu version. And with the lifted solder circles on the VSX 822 amp i want to use something that will remove more solder and damage the through holes less. This should be the final piece of equipment i'll need. ..........hopefully Athanasios

Working pretty good so far on the VSX parts but that solder flows easy.
I still think I'll have to preheat the Samsung board( Y SUS) I tried there and on the ones with large solder planes it has trouble getting it all but works great on the other points with smaller solder planes.

I thought long and hard about getting an 808 myself for the road work. Right now I have a Hakko 472D that stays on the bench.
If you do through hole reworking you haven't lived until you have used a suction desolder system. It is sooo much easier than anything else.
