Just busted my last tip for my Edsy Soldapullt..and before I order
another one..was wondering if anyone had a usable old desoldering
station collecting dust? I dont do a hell of a lot of
desoldering..but I do some..mostly switches and larger bits of solder
joints.

Swap/trade/buy if the price is right.

Have not seen it in a few years, but have one very similar to this
*somewhere* in my barn.

Yesterday, I talked to a cellphone repair guy.
He uses one of these

Claims it works well.

Probably more what Gunner needs than the antique I have. Clicked on your
link and looked at the pictures then started scrolling the text slightly
faster than I can read and this jumped out at me.

Made for SMR circuit boards. Ill never EVER work on that sort of
stuff.

Something with a suction device is good enough.

Like the rat shack iron, but as I recall..I had one of those and the
bulb degraded over 5 or so years and simply crumbled into pieces. I
was pondering something else and suddenly remembered that factoid.

But thanks!

That would be the old one. The newer one uses a different material. BUT
if you still have the old one it can use the bulb from
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062742

Or you could probably use
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...uctId=17241906

or
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062745
if you wanted a trigger style unit.

Also look at the replacement tips, they may fit yours.

Yep. If the bulb gets oil onto it - fingers / any - it decays.

Have one in my tool box. How abut one of the sticks that you load up
and put it there and press a button. Some have better results than
the older iron type.
