Heh.. a good soldering iron does help. The plunger type al ways made me scared when I pressed the button that it was going to damage the pad on the motherboard from the sudden jerk it did.
They also take multiple plunges to remove solder from larger holes.
They are just a pain to use, especially when you are trying to hold the soldering iron in place and then quickly move it out of place and move the plunger into place and plung it before the solder solidifies.
Yeah... I hate the plunger type solder suckers.
usually only takes one pull for me on normal through holes, I also don't put it in place after the fact, I just place it non top of the hole slightly tilted so I can still get the soldering iron underneath and then just pull the soldering iron out and push the button, like I said, works surprisingly well, I've desoldered entire keyboards like that.
