Due to release of the NEW FT-802 Thermal Wire Stripper, Hakko has designed the FT-8004 Conversion Kit scheduled to launch simultaneously on April 1, 2019. The FT-8004 handpiece is backwards compatible with the FT-801 station and the conversion kit allows current users of the FT-801 to upgrade to the new FT-8004 handpiece. This allows current users of the FT-801 to experience the increased performance and blade alignment without having to purchase a brand-new station.
The conversion kit includes the FT-8004 handpiece with the B5247 receptacle. The C5012 or C1573 handpiece holder for the FT-8002 can be upgraded to fit the FT-8004 handpiece by replacing the receptacle with the B5247.
