I think Japan has 100 volt grid, so the unit would use same version as sold in US, only the heater output wattage would be a bit less at only 100 volts. Still a great buy for that price.

Would have been very cool if they have sold 220/230 versions also in Japan, but I guess they are guarding their market well..

hope this helps

Which bundles?, link?

When I search "Hakko 300" then I get an searchresult of 254 products, and the bundle I can se on the first page is 300+888?

Bundles I'm looking for is kinda the 300 + accessories, like tips, needles, filters, stand etc.. but the search is not at all easy to use

gmit77 · « **Reply #131 on:** September 23, 2014, 11:18:11 am »

ciao neslekkim, I understand. on the search look for "bundle" this will generate a cleaner result
a bundle of accessories is not easy to manage but we will look into it
thanks

neslekkim · « **Reply #132 on:** September 23, 2014, 11:21:02 am »

products on the related page is also ok.

The filters, I'm not sure what the pre-filter is, I thought that there is some filters, A1033(?) that is needed, of which the tool only comes with a couple of spares.
On the other hand, those are easily available on ebay though..

I recently purchased a Hakko FR-300 Desoldering Gun and I was quite happy with the performance for the first few hours using it. The problem is after a few hours the unit stopped vacuuming properly so I disassembled and used the cleaning pins to alleviate the problem. The heating element cleaning pin worked as expected. To my surprise the cleaning pin provided for the 1.0mm nozzle tip did not fit within the tip's cavity. I am sure it is supposed to fit. I provided a lot of pressure trying to fit the cleaning pin into the nozzle with no positive result. I don't want to keep trying the motor if something is stuck in the nozzle because it will probably hurt the motor from all the extra strain. Anyone else have this problem? I am waiting to hear back from Hakko as I have contacted them with this question as well.

The cleaning pins fit and work fine, but if you got something stuck, it could be difficult to clean. Try removing the nozzle and turning the heat all the way up to its hottest setting. Then try using the cleaning pin, if it's just solder that is stuck, then that should clear it. If you got something other than solder stuck that is not meltable, then you will probably have to drill it out using one of the proper drilling tools provided by Hakko. Just be careful you don't break off a drilling bit inside the heating element, or then you really have trouble...

Why are all these desoldering tools made in gun format now? They are so clumsy to use. Hakko and others used to make really nice desoldering tools, both manual (i.e. spring) and vacuum powered, in pencil format. They were far better to use.

PlainName · « **Reply #137 on:** October 20, 2014, 11:42:56 am »

I would suspect that it is because these are standalone suckers where the pump is part of the handpiece. There are not a lot of ways you can hide the pump motor, and the grip of a pistol-style device is thus attractive.

The pencil type all required a separate box where things like the pump and controls were stashed, I think.

JBC have the smaller type, Hakko have this: http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fm2024.html where you can take of the handle.

But the price is totally different..

This is a Hakko tool I bought over 20 years ago. They don't appear to make anything like this today. I think it was about $15, and I would rather use this than an FR300. Its so comfortable and accurate that these qualities overcome the downside of having to reset the plunger after every suck.

Aha, those, I think Farnell have something like that

Mine fits only ~5mm into the tip. Did you get any reply from Hakko?

How long takes shipping to Netherlands (NL) ? Thanks in advance.
