Yes. I've had a Weller WTCPS since college, serious money for a student but
it's been worth it. It's already l
I've used Hakko vacuum de-soldering stations, and will agree that - at
least for production work - they are superior. But most of my handwork and
re-work has been with spring-loaded solder suckers, and here's what I've
found.
The full-size 'Soldapult' devices are probably the best of the bunch, in

Earlier machines often had single-sided boards with no
