Why did I just do that?

[(Anonymous)]

I can't sleep so I decided to scroll through news headlines to see what's up. So now I can't sleep and I'm depressed and stressed about the state of the world. In summary, I am occasionally an idiot.

What dumb decisions have you made lately?

Trying to forcibly remove the tip from a solder sucker before remembering how it comes apart. Result: one destroyed tip, and due to the weird way the world works replacing it is about as much as buying a entirely new solder sucker (despite my efforts to try and KEEP things out of landfills!).

[I have decided I might as well upgrade so I got a new, high-quality solder sucker. With extra tips just to be sure.]

What is a solder sucker?

Re: Why did I just do that?

Formally it's called a desoldering pump. There are simple squeeze-bulb types, but the kind I was using looks more like this: https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-1lji4r5cj2/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/4069/34919/Desoldering-Pump-Solder-Sucker__S_1__68998.1642087862.jpg?c=1

You push down on the spring-loaded button until it clicks, heat the solder up to molten with your iron, put the tip down on the soft solder and press the trigger, creating a brief vacuum (hence solder sucker).

The tip on that kind is a Teflon-based plastic. Some of the high-end ones use silicone tubes instead, which can make a better seal.
