Re: Surface Mounting Components.

Greetings Hans

I have been using various manual solder suckers for over thirty years
as a field service engineer. As they say, "It is in the technique". They
work fine, but I have a large quantity of circuit that I am boning for
parts. Operating the plunger stresses my body parts after a while.

The commercial units go for over $500.00, although the hollow tips are
reasonably priced. Using a small pump, storage tank, and a solenoid valve
should be able to replicate the commercial units.
