This was a gift to the channel courtesy of Jim 'Bones Z06' - he didn't send it to me for a shout out, but he's getting one anyways! Check out his awesome collection on his channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLS1GCyoJoSamaZ4csaCfhQ

Having the right tool for the job is crucial man. Doing construction for a living taught me long ago if you need to do a job use the proper tools. Saves on time, quality, and many headaches. Awesome John keep up the good work!

When, after a review of something,I don't have any question to ask, this is a sign of a really complete review! Thank you very much for this!

@adamhenry6793

I'm impressed by the skill you've got with those things.

@DesignedDNA

Ahhhh, so lucky! Makes the work so much easier, excited to see you have a replacement now!

@joeyisabsb1

Idk what it is but I find your videos super cozy.

@ryanmalin

Very nice work John. Thanks Jim for supporting the channel!

Hakko is expensive but the FR-301 is my best purchase ever. I was struggling like hell before, especially with those 3 layer boards with huge thick ground planes that require preheating but with this thing I easily can desolder anything without damaging anything.. My old Chinese unit really has nothing on this guy. My absolute favourite tool!

@MrWaalkman

I was given a Hakko 808 by a friend of mine who has taken a job in the UK. He didn't have room or a need for it so he gave it to me. I'm putting it to good use. :)

2:04 "I can still pull the trigger just fine." THUG LIFE!

@NevadaArcade

good job, I received my 301 today, after watching your video, I'm ready to work :) thanks!

@hdrgb

Great piece of equipment right here and good video. Keep it up.

@simonsrattanroom

Just purchased the fr-301 and holy cow!! After desoldering a few test pins I thought ... worth every penny. Now to order an N61-10 tip for the larger pins/pads.

@Shauntendo64

I got one of those chip removers per your recommendation and use it a ton. Very useful

@eman59461

Used one of these 301s on a PS4 Slim the hdmi port support, this thing is strong enough to melt that lead free solder and suck right out the big achor pads .

@cosmocramer1004

Got mine today thanks to your good video I really like it thanks for your good work

@PastBlaster

Just got done with mine. Fixing up a DK Cocktail :)

@Coolarj10

Great video, thank you!

R.I.P. 808 the gun that helped make my sweet home repro

@DeckardGames

250$? Holy cow. I use a soldering/desoldering station (with gun) and I paid 150€ (more or less the same in dollars).
But yeh, nice to see the desoldering gun on the channel again 😁
