The solder extractor includes a hollow handle rear section housing a suction connected receiver and a front section carrying an electrically heated tubular tip and a coaxial communicating rearwardly projecting coupling tube. One of a pair of end-to-end hinged posts projects forwardly and eccentrically from the rear section and the front section is coupled to the other post by an elongated bolt slidably engaging axial bores in the posts and screw engaging the rear section. In operative position the post are coaxially locked and the rear section secured to the posts with the coupling tube connected to the receiver by the tightened bolt and to position the sections for cleaning the bolt is retracted to allow retraction of the front section and coupling tube and to relatively unlock the posts to permit the swinging of the rear section affording access to the bore therethrough for cleaning.
A solder extractor device comprising a rear section including a longitudinally extending hollow handle section housing a receiver receptable connectable to a suction source and having a front inlet opening, a front section including a bracket supporting a heater member engaging a forwardly projecting tubular tip member and a rearwardly extending coupling tube coupled to said tip member support means connecting said front section to the forward position of said rear section for swinging between a first position with the rear of said coupling tube in registry with said receiver inlet opening and a second position with the rear of said coupling tube out of registry with said inlet opening and means for releasably locking said front section in its first position.
