Hakko DeSoldering Gun FR-301 Broken Plastic Part

[Perkinsman]

My gun is less than a year old and the plastic part that you pull back to eject the collected solder cartridge broke. Does anyone know whether Hakko sells replacement parts, I'd hate to have to buy another $250 gun...

Post a picture of the part. I would call or email the company and see what they can do for you.

I'll post a pic tomorrow. I see they have a US customer service so I'll try that.

I'm thinking this would be a warranty issue.

Here’s a pic. I epoxy’d the piece back. It’s the plastic part that has the little wings. It snapped along the entire width on the bottom. I had to remove the pump cover so I could get some epoxy on both sides. I’m gonna let it set for a couple days but not expecting it to work.
