There is one thing I would add for stripping the toroids with the Hakko 808...Holding the toroid in your fingers WILL burn your finger tips, the copper wire conducts the heat almost immediately...Holding the toroid with pliers might damage the enamel...Place the toroid on the workbench and place a weight on it, covering only half the toroid and leaving the wires exposed...The weight keeps the toroid from moving around, leaves the other hand free for adding solder, and saves your fingertips...
