Cool Tools: The SS-02 Solder Sucker
I have one, it works quite well! very good tool to have in your arsenal.
Anyone who does this for "work" has a hot air rework station and a dedicated pump gun because cycling that plunger over and over will cripple you after one small IC package. These are mostly for people who replace an occasional component in a boomer era guitar amp and wick tends to work better.
Agreed (ooh Eric! Hi!) (previous commenter). I've been using a solder sucker for years but this did always bug me (plastic solder sucker tips melt). then.. this post. Lo and behold I have silicone airline tubing sitting here so boom, now mine has a silicone tip too! Awesome! (seriously though the one posted is nice!). do get a solder sucker if you're working on small smt parts, you'll be glad you did.
