>for a heated solder sucker, can I buy any old cheap shit?
As I said in >>2930154, I saw a teardown of a cheaper one and it was pretty sketchy. See

A desoldering iron is a heated iron with a hollow tip, and typically also with a vacuum pump that sucks solder through that tip when a trigger/button is held down. Though I'd probably consider those heated solder suckers to also be a type of desoldering iron.
What iron are you using at the moment? Looks like some people are making custom tips to reflow all the pads at once, pic related. Otherwise I've had some success on difficult desoldering jobs by running thick (e.g. 1-2mm) solid-core wire around all the pins so you can melt them all at once.
