It's desoldering iron/tool, not station. It must be connected to the soldering station in the first place.

no, it's a station - like the soldering stations but with an internal pump.
DONT MAKE ME TAKE PHOTO'S OF IT!!

^ This is very interesting. But I wonder @wraper, who cares if is it soldering tool or desoldering tool? What's the difference? Does desoldering tool NOT need to be "esd safe?"

I think the hakko 1 Mohm resistor thing is also something curious. Why would they put a resistor between an unused pin and ground? I supposed there are markets where they prefer 1Mohm connection to earth on this station. Or perhaps they leave it to their customers. I have no concern opening a hakko and/or voiding the warranty, though. In Europe this would be a horror, I suppose, where the Hakko stations are expensive and rare. Over here, they are pretty cheap. And if I thought I'd ever need a warranty on them, I wouldn't be buying them. I'd be buying the Chinese clones in the first place.

He made a claim there is a resistor in such station. But such soldering station does not exist in the first place, which makes such claim very dubious. Also I have not seen any weller tool with a resistor on GND inside. Moreover I haven't seen a single soldering station with the tip connected through resistor and not directly to the earth.

All / Any "grounded" irons specify some 2-5 Ohms from tip to ground.
No way you can get that "through"  a 1M resistor.

Well...OK...except the TS100 that ships with the wrong power supply
