Yes.

Almost ten years ago, I bought a dedicated desoldering tool -- a Hakko 
solder sucker. I think I've used it no more than 3-4 times, but these 
were the times that solder wick just wasn't enough, and I am REALLY glad 
I had it. :)  I wish I'd had one 50 years ago when I was working on a 
service bench.
