I would like to be able to de solder parts ad not spend all day doing it with the low grade tools i have, nor do i want to put burn marks the PCB i am working on
This is what i have now:
I do not want to have to but expensive tips for it, if i can use make my own out of 12-6 AWG solid core wire that would be great
I would like something good enough to easily remove caps and also replace the USB3 header on my motherboard (not sure if detective or it broke)
This is what i have now:
- Two $3-5 30W soldering pens (i use 6/8 AWG wire for tips)
- They work good for building a new circuit on prototyping board
- Yes i have burned myself on more than one occasion
- i do not even try to touch surface mount components
- 100-140W soldering gun
- radio-shack de-soldiering bulb (can you say PITA)
- de-soldiering wick (ouch it is hot, and i suck at using it)
- cheap ebay de-soldiering pump that broke on the 1st use
