The FR‐300 desoldering tool puts the performance of an industrial desoldering station into a compact and lightweight hand tool that can be used on the workbench, or in the field.  This new tool incorporates much of what you have been asking for – A longer than normal power cord to provide the extra reach, Integrated power switch to turn the tool off when not in use, and a Quick Change nozzle system.
 
The new HAKKO FR-300 Desoldering Tool and Kit is an improved version of the older HAKKO 808 Desoldering Tool that brings the performance of an industrial soldering tool and puts it into a compact and lightweight hand tool. The HAKKO FR-300 also incorporates the features that users have been asking for – a longer power cord, and integrated power switch, and an easier way to remove the nozzles for cleaning and/or replacement.
 
The HAKKO FR-300 uses a new pump system that requires only a single cylinder that can generate more suction flow that the previous 808 Desoldering Tool but is better balanced and positioned within the tool to reduce vibration during use. The higher power heater incorporates a closed-loop sensor feedback system that provides improved temperature control and recovery. The new heating element also incorporates a new quick-change nozzle system that allows the nozzle to easily be removed for cleaning and/or replaced with a simple ‘click’.
 
The grip for the HAKKO FR-300 has been improved by making the shape more ergonomically friendly while retaining the same canted forward design as the 808 Desoldering Tool that minimizes stress on the user’s wrist when in use. The grip also has an easily accessible temperature control dial with temperature indications embossed into the grip and dial.
 
There is also an integrated power switch to turn the tool on or off at the back of the grip, and a heater activity indicator LED in the front of the grip. The filter pipe on the HAKKO FR-300 has also been improved, providing a grip area on the pipe itself that is cooler to the touch when it must be removed to clean out the collected material or replace the filters.
 
The HAKKO FR-300 also comes with an improved carrying case that securely holds the tool and protects it from damage when transporting, and the case is made with specifically designed cavities to hold and store the various maintenance cleaning pins and drills as well as the simple holder and quick change nozzle tool.
