This is a re-publish of a poorly done instructable that I posted a while back.
Transform an aquarium air pump to create a weak vacuum
This type of pump will only produce a weak vacuum but I use it for positioning electronic components and de-soldering applications.
You will need a tetra whisper Aquarium pump, a Philips screwdriver and about 5 minutes.

Nice instructable! How much vacuum does it generate (PSI or Hg)? I saw the gauge but it's not clear what the reading is.
