Desoldering Tools

• Soldering Iron: Essential for melting solder during removal.
• Desoldering Pump (Solder Sucker): Manual tool to vacuum molten solder.
• Desoldering Braid (Solder Wick): Copper braid that absorbs molten solder via capillary action.
• Hot Air Station: For surface-mount components; blows hot air to reflow and remove solder.
• Desoldering Gun: Integrated iron and vacuum pump for quick solder removal.
• Tweezers (ESD-safe): For handling small SMD components after desoldering.
• Magnifying Lamp or Stereo Microscope: Improves visibility during precision work.
• Flux and Flux Pen: Enhances solder flow and improves desoldering efficiency.
• PCB Holder or Vise: Secures board during operation.
• Safety Gear: Heat-resistant gloves and safety glasses recommended.

Note: Always use proper ventilation and ESD precautions when desoldering.
