🔧 Hakko A1007 1.6mm Desoldering Nozzle Review

Ideal for desoldering large pins on the circuit board. I used it for .156 pitch pins on a Bally powerboard and it fitted perfectly. It is also suitable for large transistors and capacitors.

Excellent desoldering tool for use with Hakko desoldering tools; B. Model 808 or newer. This tool is useful for removing through-hole passive parts from double-sided PCBs.

For reference here are the different disassembly bits that fit my 808: A1002, A - 0.8mm, B - 1.8mm, A1003, A - 1.0mm, B - 2.0mm, A1004, A - 0.8mm, B - 2.3mm, A1005, A - 1.0mm, B 2.5mm A1006, A 1.3mm, B 3.0mm A1007, A 1.6mm, B 3.0mm A is the inner diameter of the tip and B is the outer diameter of the tip. A tip with the same ID but a larger OD will transfer heat…
