I watched this guy make a repair on a PC board and used a new desoldering tool at 2:30 and again at 4:20. I gotta get one of these soon.
Can't be that expensive.

Awwww, I was hoping to see some new fangled tool.
I was disappointed when I saw her do exactly the same thing I do on some boards.
This is exactly how I handle boards with big giant solder pads or ground planes that are tough to desolder.
Everything else I use my Aoyue desoldering gun.
You realize this is just a soldering iron right? The desoldering is the act of pounding the component/board on the bench.
I've show this technique at my anyPin seminar.

Quoted from dothedoo:Most old pinball boards won’t hold up to that.
I thought of that - with my luck when I tap it on the bench, the solder AND the pad would fall off.
