Re:desoldering
i have a hakko (even more than $400) and it is sweeeeeet. i wish i had bought one when i first started working on electronics.
but a solder sucker worked fine for me for a couple years. like several guys said, until you do alot of it, or until you start removing processors (40 pin and DON'T f*** one up) there's no need to drop the cash.

Re:desoldering
A friend of my dad's had what equated to a soldering iron with a hollow tip attached to a vaccum pump. I used it once and it was quite nice; desoldering a 28pin EPROM would take maybe a minute from start to having it out.
I wish i could find me a cheap one of those

Re:desoldering
This is what I use. Works good but tip is too large for ECU work. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...342654862&rd=1
