> I know this is way old, but I'm just going to chime in and say that a soldering iron and solder sucker work fine and are a totally reasonable way to start. I've socketed a few chips on Asteroids PCBs, and it's been fine.
I use this method too - graduated from a straight vacuum solder sucker to a heated one (a bulb attached to a soldering iron) - Radio Shack still sells it, it's cheap, and it works fantastically well.
