Really good video. Simple trick, great effect! Man, his desolding wick works like crazy. Much better than the one I have. Now I realize why I could not get good results with mine. I also need this super suction version.

Thanks for posting

Edit: this works really good for desolding old Haufe transformer from double sided PCBs. In the past, this was often the boss fight that I failed at.
OMG!
