MINI FUME EXTRACTOR
Candy tin device helps keep your air clean and your lungs healthy.

A fume extractor uses an activated carbon filter and fan to remove the smoke, and noxious fumes, created from soldering. The average price of a small hobby version is about $100, but this one will run you more like $10.
