I probably don't do the precision work mostly talked about here; I don't 
mess with multilayer boards much at all. Regardless of the level of 
difficulty, a desoldering tool is almost as important as the soldering 
iron when you are removing components. Very frustrating without one.

I'm picturing something that looks like a 3" tall shopvac hooked up to a 
standard desoldering tool. :-)
