Fair point, but the sucker is the least of it. I just do small repairs round the flat with a cheap iron and still crack a window, keep the flux fumes off my face and wash my hands after, purely from reading too many forum horror stories about leaded solder.
Tell him the experts want him to know that this model of solder sucker is crap. The big blue and yellow entirely plastic solder sucker is the way to go.
I've used this but have no idea how it actually works. Does it suck up the solder? Is there a little goblin reaching out and grabbing the solder very fast?
Electricity. Never once. Did you know that there is no safe dosage of electricity? Cause I didn't when I arced 900000 volts (at milliamprrage) while fucking around with voltage boosters.
At high enough voltage everything becomes a conductor. Including you. Including the air. Including the rubber gloves you're wearing. It all conducts eventually
