Hi
CPC are usually good at comedy packaging as we know!
Their cheap aluminium desoldering pump
http://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/zd-1...ing/dp/SD01154 works surprisingly well and is easy to dismantle for cleaning. They're so cheap I keep a few in stock.
I also found the green aluminium RS pump to be poor compared to the one I used back in the 1980's. The new one blocked far too easily for my liking even on quite small soldered joints. There is a subtle difference in appearance between the two pumps. I'll try to find them and check the differences.
