i needed to post this because this fool is blaming the tool for his lack of knowledge!
problems/mistakes:
1: using solder - you never use solder because the flux enables the solder to stick in the tool.
2: using too much heat - he's dry-jointing the solder as soon as it melts.
3: not pushing the trigger long enough - you need to clear the solder from the tool as well as the pcb.
4: desoldering downwards - your fighting gravity and molten solder can drop back down onto the pcb.
5: removing the splash-plate from the collector - it will make it block the pump much faster
6: blaming the tool for the other 5 mistakes!!
oh yea, 7 - he complains that it takes forever to cool down.
that's thermal-mass, and it's a good thing.
