Desoldering tool
#11

I decided to try a couple of different desoldering tools. I use the Soldapullit most, and the other one occasionally. I used to use an older version the the blue one when I had my shop years ago. Biggest drawback is like trying to unsolder with a telephone pole! It wants to hit stuff when I am working in tight quarters. I have an assortment of different size tips for the electric one. It seems to work ok, but I often have to apply a little fresh solder in order to get heat transfer sufficient to clean the joint. But sometimes I have to do the same with the others. The Soldapullit has a lot more force and works pretty well, but takes 2 hands where the electric one can be done with one hand. I may try something else when the desire hits me again. I have used solder wick, but to me, it works better on PC boards than hand wired connections. I think mine is old and doesn't seem to pick up very well.
