Default Solder Sucker

What's a good decent solder sucker (desoldering pump)? My old one finally kicked the bucket

+1 on radio shack stuff. Things there are Actually very nice for the price. Not really solder related... But I just picked up a crimper at radio shack. Identical to the one some of the "rc companies" are selling... But 5-10 cheaper than what they are asking!

Thanks for the information. Looks like I'll be making a trip to radio shack. I also need to pick up a new pair of wire strippers while I'm there

I tend to use chemwik solder braid more than a pump. Just take care not to use too much heat for too long.

If you have amazon prime, there are several decent ones on there in the $5-6 range.
