I just bought a desoldering tool. can it still solder things togeather or is it simply for desoldering?
Generally, it is just for desoldering. But there are many different types of desoldering tools.
The simplest is the "Solder Sucker" You heat the joint up with soldering iron and the solder sucker is a spring loaded hypodermic which instantly sucks the molten solder up when you push the button.
A desoldering station is a soldering iron with a hollow tip. It has a little vacuum pump the pulls up the molten solder like the Solder Sucker. I suppose you could solder with it, if you were desperate and the tip is tinned.
A SMD desoldering tool comes with different tips to simultaneously melt all sides of a surface mount device so the device can be quickly removed while the solder is still fluid. You can apply flux or solder paste to the pads on the PCB, install the new SMD device, and re-heat the joints to re-flow the joint. In this case, it is fine for soldering in the new part.
Still, a simple, temperature controlled soldering iron/station is absolutely necessary for electronics work.
