[Elecraft] De-soldering Tool Recommendations?

[Tom McCulloch]

I guess they call  themselves Harbor Freight, sorry about that.

I bought one at Harbor Express several years ago.  I don't use it very 
often  so its' low price makes it attractive for my purposes.  I'm sure, 
like a lot of Harbor Express products you'll find better quality 
de-solerers elsewhere.  But if your looking for a low price item I'd 
suggest checking them out.
