Solder wick.

You don't have a proper desolder tool, then? ;-)

I have several solder suckers. In close quarters sometimes solder wick
does the trick, and it always works. I've got one of those big blue
nasty things, and a couple of smaller aluminum solder suckers. In
close quarters I still find myself reach for the solder wick.

A solder sucker ain't the same as a desolder station. Of course solder
wick is useful but the desolder station works for pretty well everything
here. But probably too large an investment for occasional use.
