CSI88 Desoldering Tool

[N0EHQ]

Has anyone had experience with the CSI88 desoldering tool from Circuit
Specialists Inc.? It appears similar but not necessarily comparable in
concept to the Hakko 808. The price is definitely attractive but then
again as in a lot of cases you get what you pay for.

Appreciate any feedback if available.

Ed,
    I would dearly like to have a Hakko 808 but I just can't justify the
cost.  I do quite a bit of building and soldering but I very rarely need to
desolder something so I went with a GC-12-2157 heated desoldering iron.  It
does a great job and sells for only $36.42 at Action Electronics
http://www.action-electronics.com/desolder.htm#Heated.  Take a look.  If
your needs are limited such as mine, you will be very happy with it.
