Interesting, I've often toyed with buying a Hako but so far have stuck with my solder wick, Soldapullt, and occasionally a bulb.  I guess if I did a lot of solid state repairs I'd look into one a little more seriously.

I remember talking to my late brother about making one of these and he used his wife's old shark vacuum cleaner and made one.  When I was cleaning out his shop for my sister-in-law I found it.  If I remember correctly he said it worked pretty good and I remember playing with it for a bit, but it was, well a loud vacuum cleaner with a large hose so I wound up giving it back to her to use as a vacuum.  I remember her saying, "I wondered whatever happened to that vacuum"
