Anthony Zammit one of the directors of Phillips in Malta. He noticed that workers were taking too long an too many resources to remove solder from components using copper film and that the desoldering pump was too large and cumbersome. So he came up with the design of a small pump attached to a soldering iron which had a tiny hole drilled at the tip and turned the whole thing into a gun and called it the desoldering iron. Phillips never recognized him as the inventor and was compensated with a golden pen for his effort.

What is a solder remover?

Solder remover is an object or device for removing solder, usually from printed circuit boards. It can be in the form of a copper mesh called solder wick, a separate vacuum device you use alongside a soldering iron, or a desoldering iron. A desoldering iron gets hot like a soldering iron, but the tip is hollow and there is a squeeze bulb mounted on top. So you heat up the solder on the board and then use the bulb to vacuum up the solder and then deposit in a safe place such as a can or ash tray.
