This is a special device that works almost like a medical syringe, and outwardly resembles it.
To remove excess tin using a desoldering pump, it is necessary to bring it to the working position (charge the spring). After that, heating the tin with a soldering iron, press the button on the tool so that it absorbs the heated tin.
This is a very convenient way to remove excess tin and remove solder marks from the board.
The braid is a cord woven from thin wires, on which flux is applied. To remove excess tin from the board, heat it up with a soldering iron, and then collect the tin with this string (the braid collects melted tin almost like a sponge). It is most effective to use a braid when the tip of the soldering iron is not narrower than the width of this pigtail.
Of course, every experienced craftsman can also advise his own, original ways to remove tin. You can find a variety of notions, devices from scrap materials, but the above methods are the simplest and most versatile, suitable for not very experienced electronics lovers.
These methods can also be used when removing parts from the board.
