Abstract
A general purpose desolderer and means for converting the general purpose desolderer to either a soldering iron or a special purpose desolderer is disclosed. The general purpose desolderer may be converted to a soldering iron or to a special purpose desolderer by mounting the proper tip over the desoldering tip where the configuration of the distal end of the tip may be any one of various predetermined shapes depending upon the particular application, whereby the general purpose desolderer may be quickly and easily converted to other modes of operation.
