Hi Robert,

For mine, the clogged was due to that I had forgotten to clean it after the students used it. The smallest drill bit done the cleaning.

I had a problem with my desoldering gun getting clogged because I wasn't giving it enough time to heat up. Now I always give it at least 10 minutes to heat up and I rarely have a clogging problem.

Hi Robert,

At the training center here we did not repair customer equipment. For your information I did cover the static electricity topic in my training class. I will take note on your advice. Thanks.

Hi Gerald,

Noted. Last time there was a case of clogged in the gun solder tip and I had to use the finest drill bit to solve the problem.

Thanks Robert. I have been looking for this model in the past, under your advice if I remember. It doesn't seem to be available here in Malaysia. Funny enough we find many sites selling spare parts for the 808 but I haven't found the whole product. Maybe I am looking at the wrong place...

Cheers,
GM

Mine is 993A also from Aliexpress. Suction is not very good and the tips very quickly oxidized and worn out. Maybe newer models as 998p are better...

Used to have a Hakko, very good but the heating element got clogged with rust, impossible to recover even with very high temperature. Replacement part was much too expensive.

Cheers,
GM

Hi Mr. Yong,

It looks like you have carpet and regular tables in the classroom with no anti-static mats on them. How do you stop static electricity?
Anti-static mats also help keep devices and things from sliding around.
