Recommend a desoldering pump?

Post by xtian »

I want to get an inexpensive (but not cheap!) desoldering pump/vacuum, like this one:

Anyone have recommendations in the $100-150 range?

In the end, I decided on a standalone desoldering pump: https://www.circuitspecialists.com/blac ... combo.html

$109 shipped. Lovely! Really does the job. Components just fall out of the PCB. Recommended.

Although, it is a bit harder to work when there's a big meatloaf in the middle of your desoldering workspace...
