Review

I may look like a toy, but this tool is probably the best standalone desoldering gun on the market. I've owned other desoldering tools before this, both desoldering station and standalone gun, and they both had a tendency to clog up. The Hakko however, provides enough heat and suction power to easily handle jobs that would have been a struggle with my earlier tools. I advise you to also buy the Hakko C1100 iron stand, to keep the FR-301 safe and steady.
