Anyone have a good desoldering station for a budget suggestion? Trying to bump up my soldering game.

If you’re really on a budget just use a soldapullt :slight_smile:

I trust Voultar’s judgement.
Guy spent thousands of soldering gear and he prefers a $50 station over a Hakko.

I said DEsoldering station. Like a desoldering gun or something. I saw that video and I’m getting that based off of Lord Voultar’s suggestion but he never really said anything about a desoldering gun.

Well it depends on if youre desoldering surface mount or through hole components.

These are popular cheap hot air stations

As for desoldering guns, these seem decent from what ive read

However,

Voultar recently twittered that hed work on a desoldering tools video so i would wait for that tbh

I recently bought one of the ZD-915 variants off eBay. Not exactly cheap, but does a great clean job & will save you a tonne of time.

Besides that, solder pumps kinda work, I never had much success, or desoldering wick.

What are you desoldering? :smile: I’m curious (if you want to share). I used to desolder a lot of mechanical keyboard switches and did it with a good Edsyn iron and a Soldapult.
