There are also vacuum desoldering stations that use "shop

This works very well. The best station for 7400 type IC's
was a Weller vacuum desoldering station.
I have a Pace station at work with a vacuum pump in the
box. At home I have one with a foot pedal that contains a
venturi vacuum generator that requires compressed air.
These work really well. I think the handpieces are model
SX-70.
