Wish I had one yesterday. I'm no PCB soldering expert but trying to take off an opto from a TZ clock PCB was a teo man job. The wife pulling (like all good wives should do) and me pushing with a hot poker...I mean soldering iron.
Would one of these desoldering guns help in such a case as well as replacing pins on PCB's etc etc or am I mistaken on the discussion?
yep. and don't forget de-soldering braid. its not a sexy big unit but its fast and cheap and clean. i have a good de-soldering unit but more often than not just use braid unless there is a lot to do...
