Did they say anything about it, or do you mean you mentioned it in their customer service survey?

And cool, glad I'm not the only one.

In their customer service survey.

Date code on mine was 2014.04.2.

neslekkim · « **Reply #178 on:** March 03, 2015, 07:49:29 pm »

Which datecode does the models Batterfly have then?

KJDS · « **Reply #179 on:** March 03, 2015, 08:31:08 pm »

I've just found a Hakko 470 lurking in a box. Great bit of kit. I also found some similar Pace desoldering tools which also work very well.

Mine is 2014.09, looks like it was fixed by then.

Where is this datecode located?

staze · « **Reply #183 on:** March 20, 2015, 03:16:10 pm »

Sticker on the unit.

iRad,

Did your repaired unit also have a louder pump? I used mine a bunch yesterday, and the pump got progressively louder, and stranger sounding. I also get little puffs of smoke out of the back of the unit now, where I don't recall that happening before...

iRad · « **Reply #185 on:** March 20, 2015, 07:08:34 pm »

No difference in the sound noted, and no puffs of smoke either. The only notable time the sound changes up is when the tip is getting clogged or the filter is getting full.

BTW: My datecode is 2014.04 2. Same as yours, only no dot between the 04 and 2 on mine, just a space.

Yeah, no 0 on mine either... think I was filling that in.

Hmm... I'll take a look at the tip. I cleaned out the catch tube and filters. Hmm...

Contacted Hakko about pump noise, and smoke exiting the unit. Their Engineer piped up and said "that's not normal, I'm authorizing to send you a whole new unit... send the old one back when you get it so we can have a look".

Wow... gotta say, pretty awesome company.

iRad · « **Reply #188 on:** March 20, 2015, 08:41:52 pm »

I have been happy with their service and support. Good to know they are treating you well.

Let us know your experience when you get the replacement.

neslekkim · « **Reply #189 on:** March 24, 2015, 12:46:57 pm »

Crap..

Have anyone seen the price of the Hakko FR 400?

iRad · « **Reply #190 on:** March 24, 2015, 01:01:58 pm »

The new Hakko FR-400
I want one... anybody seen one yet? How much???

neslekkim · « **Reply #191 on:** March 24, 2015, 01:06:48 pm »

Have only seen this:

http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fr400.html

Was just looking for the productnumbers for various extras for the 300 that I'm expecting tomorrow, and found that they have released an new model.. interresting nozzles on this one.

iRad · « **Reply #192 on:** March 24, 2015, 01:09:59 pm »

Saw that, and I have also seen this here:

gmit77 · « **Reply #193 on:** March 24, 2015, 01:13:48 pm »

hello, some info about FR-400 and FX-801.
as you have noticed they are new products, we will get both of them on the first week of April only for test purpose.
those two models are not CE approved yet, HAKKO is confident to be ready for the EU market in May 2015, but so far it is a guess only. we can provide more solid info by time to time.

FR-400 is a complete new design by HAKKO for heavy duty challenge. t is interesting to see the new anti-clogging system:

any question pls ask.

Thank you. No need to hijack this thread...

staze · « **Reply #196 on:** March 27, 2015, 01:06:35 am »

So, got the new one. Datecode is 2025.03 2, so this month!

Only difference I see is they marked the trigger with "Vacuum" (see picture). Otherwise, seems very similar.

iRad, one question: Do you have any extra tips for yours? If so, how do you store them? I was thinking of some way to store them on the 633 stand, but can't think of an easy way.

iRad · « **Reply #197 on:** March 27, 2015, 03:01:36 am »

Just drill some holes to drop them into.
Personally I move my stand around too much, and don't want to keep bits in it that could jar loose and get lost. I just use the stands that came with some of my other Hakko equipment. I had to modify those with a drill to hold the FR-300 bits and put a couple of extra small holes for some cleaning rods.

staze · « **Reply #198 on:** March 27, 2015, 03:33:21 am »

iRad,

I swear, you're going to be the death of me (or rather, my wallet). I wish I'd seen this thing ages ago... I went and bought a .22 gauge bullet "case" to hold all my weller tips (one of my irons is one of the bit controls the temperature Wellers). This looks much better.

Damn it man... Is it just solid plastic?

iRad · « **Reply #199 on:** March 27, 2015, 01:45:30 pm »

The Hakko Tip Tray is solid aluminum. I put a rubber pad on the bottom of each to help keep them from sliding easily on the shelf. I could have made something similar/better on the lathe and mill, but these came with other Hakko equipment and work well enough.

The Hakko Part Number is: B2756 (Tip Tray)
