Thanks for the replies. I use a solder sucker and sometimes braid for removing components and cleaning the pads.
I only occasionally need to do it so don't want a costly solution sitting doing nothing most of the time. My work/operating space is already cluttered so can't afford to put anything else in there, just don't have the room
I thought the hollow needle tools would help on the odd occasion where I have through hole components to replace.
Gotta be worth a try at the price??????? >:-)
