Hakko Fr-300 desoldering tool

[Sjokolade]

Anyone seen the Fr-300 or even tested it ?

Heard rumors that the Fr-300 is to replace the 808 that is out of production.

Pictures ?

Maybe it's supposed to be secret until end of month?
Found some other things also:

Looking at what JBC comes with now, Hakko really looks oldfashioned:

Yes I guess Hakko is waiting to release information about the Fr-300, saw those links you posted earlier but not early enough to download the Hakko Fr-300 press release that was removed from n1a.goexposoftware.

I like Hakko's design better then JBC actually

Hakko is typically very difficult and expensive to get here in Norway.. Emagenturer is going to skyrocket this price also I guess.

Hakko is typically very difficult and expensive to get here in Norway.

Not only in Norway, the same here in Germany

[neslekkim]

Have you seen the prices in UK?, those are much better, but they don't sell outside UK, I tried to ask if it was possible to buy one at the makerfaire, but they are far outside anywhere, and you had to order in advance, witch rules out ordering to hotels etc.

Times like this I love living in the USA.

[tsmith35]

Hakko prices are low in the US, but JBC prices are high. Good and bad.

As an aside, do the JBC capacitive touch screens work with gloves? I know a lot of techs wear gloves while handling components, so just curious.

Will you also sell to Norway?

[neslekkim]

Will pre-order one of these, Norwegian price is 2950,- NOK + mva and will be available in april/may.

Who will sell at that price?, the older 808 is crazy priced at the distributor in Norway.. (Emag.. )

[gmit77]

hello I will post the link of the FR-300 in the afternoon.
Batter Fly web shop link is www.batterfly.com/shop
here is the link to check our shipment cost: http://www.batterfly.com/shop/consegna

I will update the post with the FR-300 link soon

thanks

[neslekkim]

Why is shipping to sweden €10 cheaper than Norway?, our contries lies next to each other

And what is IVA?, tax?, Norway is outside EU, so I expect TAX to be excluded, since we need to pay tax in import here.

[gmit77]

GOOD QUESTION!!! mistery of transporter price list ...
VAT will be not charged automatically for those countries which are outside of EU and of course for every oredrs coming from a company

[gmit77]

as promised, here is the link http://www.batterfly.com/shop/hakko-fr-300

[neslekkim]

This is of course the european version with 220volts?, and EU plug?
Any idea of when it will be available?

Will be interresting to see reviews and comparisions of this one to the 808.

[gmit77]

yes EU version 
I think we will be able to ship the first units end of April.
Order booking is open from today in our web shop

EM Agenturer AS will sell the Fr 300 for that price

Prisen på FR-300 blir 2950,- og spissene vil koste 135,-

The old 808 is cheap now.. ehh cheaper 1/2 price.

Denne kan du få for 2500,- og demo modellen kan du få for 2000,-

[mariush]

At 235 euro, it's just crazy... I add 24% VAT and I'm looking at 291 euro.. with 30 euro shipping I'm looking at 320 euro. 

I can buy the US FX-808 from eBay for 180$, plus 40$ shipping, or about 220$ (159 euro): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hakko-808-KIT-P-808-5-Desoldering-Gun-Tool-120-VAC-Handheld-Self-Contained-Kit-/380841853916?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58abf183dc

If I have some bad luck , I may even have to pay VAT that would be another 20-30 euro.. so overall less than 180 euro.  A 220-240v -> 110v transformer doesn't cost 150 euro.

[neslekkim]

A 220-240v -> 110v transformer doesn't cost 150 euro.

Someone on the forums here have done that, but needed somewhat beefier transformer than what the 808 should require..

[mariush]

Exactly. A 100VA transformer is 19 pounds, about 25-26 uk pounds with shipping and VAT ... around 25 euro: http://uk.farnell.com/pro-power/ctfcs100-50u/transformer-100va-2-x-50v/dp/1780899

A 200VA transformer is about 40 euro VAT included : http://uk.farnell.com/pro-power/ctfcs200-50u/transformer-200va-2-x-50v/dp/1780907

No problem with difference in frequency, the tool will handle it.

I contacted dancap about the Fr300 and was told that it won't be available in the UK until June.

There is nothing on the Hakko site yet either (at least not under products).

So are they selling some before officially releasing them?
