This works very well. The best station for 7400 type IC's was a
Weller vacuum desoldering station.
I have a Pace station at work with a vacuum pump in the box. At home
I have one with a foot pedal that contains a venturi vacuum generator
that requires compressed air. These work really well. I think the
handpieces are model
SX-70.

I had one of the Wellers with the probe and head like the DS-100 with
the builtin vacuum. It was nowhere near as good as the one with the
shop air venturi. The latter hit with enough more force to clear a hole
more often that it was the one to have.
Nice to have a portable home one, however.
thanks
