I know some of you have one but where did you get and where is the cheapest place to get or maybe one thats just as good as the 808 but cheaper? im on a set budget for parts and tools I am hoping I can get one for cheap let me know :)
 
Ive been looking for one myself and so far Frys is the cheapest. They have them for $159 and I havent found anyone even close to that. I think thats the best you are going to do.
 
dont have a frys in my state as far as i know and i dont think i can order online but its been a while
 
Get the holder too for $20, although on Amazon someone mentions the holder doesn't last, but maybe with hobby use it'll hold up.
 
Personally the radio shack one would compliment the hakko - RS one works good for flybacks and things with larger solder blobs so you don't have to swap tips on the hakko, but for bulk de-soldering, no comparison.
 
i have the radio shack one and it does not do the job for me and is also not good for very small globs of solder
