Solder sucker

[Ray Scheufler]

Please don't leave the plunger depressed on the solder sucker.  Leaving is depressed is sad and causes the spring to wear more quickly.  When cleaning up after soldering, please check that that soldering iron is turned off and the solder sucker is in the relaxed position.  Just press the button and it will be all better.

I think what Ray meant is,

Stop sucking at stopping the solder sucker spring from sucking, simply slap the solder sucker button soon as you stop sucking solder.

You should use the solder wick, it sucks less than the solder sucker and doesn't care who pushed what button.

Yes, solder wick + extra flux is the way to go.
