copper braid VS. solder sucker

[fourstringburn]

I'm surprised to see the vote tally showing solder suckers at a higher percentage. Both are useful but I believe one is not much better than the other depending on what task is being performed.

I prefer solder wick for circuit board component removal and for solder suckers for larger desoldering jobs.

Depends on what type sucker your using. Darn good one or junk....
