And if you DO own a Hakko 808, remember it is not a soldering gun with
an on/off trigger. It is ALWAYS HOT while plugged in. The trigger
simply activates the suction mechanism.
When you lay it down, lay it on something non-combustable and non-painful.

For those who own a desoldering iron like the Hakko 808, stripping the
enamel from heat strippable wire is quick and easy - just like a
solder pot. Melt a bit of solder on the tip and push the wire into
the tip center. Wait a bit for 'smoke' to appear and then pull the
trigger. Presto, stripped lead.
Just clean the inside of the tip with the tip cleaning rod after a few
leads have been stripped. If you don't do that, the tip will clog.
