My 2 cents: I’ve tried solder suckers of different types for years, tried braid as well and have had mixed results at best. I recently had quite a bit of intensive de-soldering to do on two guitar amps so I treated myself to a Hakko FR301 de-soldering unit (it’s much cheaper than their de-soldering stations). My oh my! I now see what all the fuss is about. Quick and easy. BTW: I receive nothing from Hakko products, I just like the tools I’ve bought. BTW: I think the topic is relevant to this forum. We make PCBs and not all of us have them populated by someone else.
