MOTM

I've had one of these for years and have been very satisfied. I haven't even needed to replace the plastic tip or anything. It rocks ;P (as much a solder sucker can rock)

Subject: [motm] Unsoldering parts - a useful tool to keep around


I wanted to replace several resistors on a PC board recently and needed 
more than just solder wick.  My old heated desoldering iron gave up the 
ghost.  I ran out to Radio Shack and found this solder sucker tool that 
I hadn't noticed before.

You have to be fast, heating the joint then quickly placing the sucker 
over it and pressing the release.  It comes in handy for cleaning out 
the holes after you have removed the old leads.  With this tool, plus 
some solder wick, you are equipped.
