A hand-held, trigger-actuated tool heats solder to be removed from a workpiece and draws the melted solder into the distal tip of the tool by vacuum. From the tip, the molten solder is drawn into a relatively large diameter, thin-walled, extended tube in which the solder hardens into pellets which may be removed as required by removing a plug in a chamber at the near end of the tube. A solenoid in the handle of the tool operates a plunger in a cylinder which communicates with the top of the chamber through a duct. The plunger has a one-way valve in its head which has a sealing disk which "floats" in the head, and on the return stroke of the plunger permits air trapped in the cylinder head to escape.
