The next threshold [if this works I still have a tennis ball around somewhere), is to hotwire it. Any ideas?

Which is right, the entier thing is a joke, and (of course) won't unlock anything.

I'd think you would then need a hole in the ball for the wire, in addition to the blow hole. Or is that a suck hole?

I once had a solder-sucker like that, just a rubber ball with a hollow teflon point. You could blow open vias with it, solder all over the place :-) Actually was a nice tool, but the rubber fell apart over time. Should have kept the teflon point, and mounted it on a tennis ball.

Years ago I used one of those 40 watt iron suckers, I used to salvage parts back in the days when you needed parts for repairs, building things etc.. Now days, that's not viable how ever, I went through alot of those Radio shaft 40 watt irons with the rubber bowl on it and it was my main tool for removing solder, It made my right hand grip very strong over time!

No, my right didn't get that way by other means ;) accept maybe holding a tennis racquet..

But at least you'll get your balls squeezed by a cute blond.
