Can anyone recommend a somewhat cheap de-soldering iron? I don't want to go with a $250+ one as I will not use it very much (at this point). I would like to keep it under $100 if possible. Do those little 40W irons with the bulb work ok? J_K_M_A_N |

Is it worth going with this or just get one of these? J_K_M_A_N |

Personally, I like the cheapy ones. I'm not exactly pulling anything more delicate than capacitors, though. one of those and a glass jar to spit it back out. I like it better than those suction syringes as well, because I feel like I have better control with bulb irons. |

I ordered up the cheaper one. I will probably not use it a whole lot so I will try that one first. I am having trouble getting a row of pins out with the hand held solder sucker. It leaves just a little bit connected and I can't seem to get it even with the copper braid. :( J_K_M_A_N |

The bulb one should be fine for minimal work, but if you think you’re going to be doing a lot of work eventually, consider going with a desoldering gun. I bought one a few years ago and have never looked back! |
