Desoldering tool is handy, beats trying to blow the "slag" off.
Cheaper at Frys, if you can find one local.

Am i safe in assuming that all of these require a seperate tool to actually melt the solder?

edit; nevermind, watched the video. Appreciate the offer but i'll stick with my desoldering iron.

I never get these things to work properly, unless you are doing through hole, even then, I use a braid.

The Edsyn models work flawlessly. All the rip offs probably don't work as well.

Actually, they do not, Mine is an Edsyn too, I could suck more solder off with my lips.

LOL - I'm gonna try that next time I need to desolder.

No but really - I have used 3 different models of this on lots of different things and I have NEVER had any solder left over... :o I'm mostly just using it on regular circuit boards - have not tried it on anything else.
