Title: Goot portable desoldering gun?
Post by: pearsoe on February 06, 2008, 02:45 AM
Has anyone ever used one of these desoldering tools?

You can see it here, there is even a video if it in action:

I'm wondering it it works as well as they say.  I find desoldering daunting and anything to make it easier would be welcome.

Very pricey!  I can't tell from the video if the gadget actually works as well as claimed.  I sure don't plan to buy one to find out.  My old-fashioned Ungar desoldering pump still works and paid for itself 20 years ago.
