Hi
My kids gave me  the Hakko 880 desoldering tool. It is extremely efficient at 
desoldering PC  boards, and has some use in our BA's as well. Although 
expensive, it is easy to  use, and clearly much neater than other methods I have 
used over the years. It  is the only thing that successfully desolders 
multi-pronged devices. Watch out  not to overheat stuff though.

I  agree! I couldn't live without my Hakko 472B. Works extremely well at  
desoldering wire 
junctions on tube sockets, terminal strips and inside tight  places in the 
R-390A and
other tube radios. Cleans up messy soldering jobs  that someone else may have 
done
before. Allows me to do repair work that  would have been almost impossible 
without it.
