I know but it will prep me for next portables...not really but whatever.

Right now my Portable is on halt because I don't have desoldering Braid which I should be able to get this week-end.

Desoldering braid is great, I use it a lot. I find a solder sucker, well frankly, sucks (useless).

I've never had any luck with the solder sucker. It just seems totally useless to me. An added advantage of desoldering braid is that if you're using a third hand, you can often just clamp it right where you need it.

Yeah, that isn't a bad price, but you are better off getting some locally.

Here's a hint:

Use THIS SITE to shrink down your ebay URLs. It's annoying to have a page stretch. :x
