This shows my desoldering and soldering tools. In the back the left most unit is a Pace desoldering station. To the right of it are two temperature controlled soldering irons. The blue item in front is a solder sucker I used with a normal soldering iron before I got the Pace. Next is a bottle of flux and a roll of solder. In front is solder wick which I use if the Pace doesn't get enough solder off to free the lead. The red triangle in the front is a lead bender for forming component leads. The diodes are .4 inch spacing. To the right is my diagonal cutters. One of the boards I was repairing is also shown.
