A little more that $100 https://www.amazon.com/Desoldering-Station-Digital-Temperature-Controlled/dp/B00KQ6PR6K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=zd-985&qid=1589990366&sr=8-1 This is a good alternative.. having a vacuum desolder is the best.. I have it and I've had very good luck. |

Since I do a lot of board repairs, I use a Hakko model 808 desoldering gun. Sure makes things much easier and faster. However, the 808 is discontinued (was superceeded by the FR-300 model and that one is now replaced by FR301). As usual, Hakko products are expensive. |

Probably the best investment I ever made for this hobby. |

I rigged up a cheap suction bulb iron to some tubing and a shop vac on a foot switch. Worked great for pulling 40 pin chips off an old pinball driver board. Cost me about $30 in materials. Bad part was the shop vac pulled solder further up the metal shaft than I think is normal and at one point I had to put it in the BBQ to get it red hot and pour out the solder. On the other hand, $30. |

If I can make this cheap one work, it will probably be fine for how much I will use it. If it sucks, I don't mind spending $100-$150 to get the vacuum style and just having it for future use. It is really nice to have the right tool for the job. I have been going crazy trying to get this off. I would rather spend the money and make life easier. :) J_K_M_A_N |
