Solder Suckers
Solder suckers also known as de-soldering pumps are a classic option. To prepare this hand tool for use, press the lever down until it locks, heat the soldered component with a soldering iron. Once the solder has melted place the solder sucker nozzle over the solder and press the release button. This creates a vacuum and sucks up the melted material. For more delicate components consider the anti-static solder suckers for greater protection to components.
