[Elecraft] 'Horrible' Rubber Bulb desoldering tool

[David C Dawson]

I have found that my awful old rubber bulb desoldering tool is in fact
somewhat useful.

The trick is to heat a pin on one side of the board and use the tool on
the other side. I realize it may not work very well on ICs, but I managed
to free a toroidal transformer by this method. I'm not saying that the
rubber bulb is the best thing since sliced bread, but it isn't useless,
either.

who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool
all of the people all of the time.
