Solder Sucker Desoldering Pump Sucking Vacuum Desoldering Pump with Teflone Tip 13" Silicone Tool Blue Soldapullt Removal Kit

This thing is huge! By far the largest solder sucker I've ever used. It's the largest solder-related tool I have, including my solder station. It's so large, it doesn't even fit around most IC pins because they're too close together.Not only is it huge, but it also works great. I've used a number of suction gadgets, including some I've made myself, and even an actual vacuum cleaner. But this one out performs them all. Every time I use it, I've got a solid 95% chance it will remove all of the solder on the first attempt. The best part is it creates so much suction it doesn't even need to fit around most IC pins. It performs just as well several millimeters away from the solder joint.I suspect its size is the source of its power. You see, a lot of solder suckers keep themselves competitive by sticking with a gimmick. For example, creating a tight seal around the solder joint using a flexible silicon tube, using some double spring type of setup, using a lubed up tube, or by just being really cheap. But this solder sucker knows a bigger tube means more volume, which means more suction. When that button is pressed, it suddenly has a lot of volume to fill, and it will pull in anything that's close to it. So it's generating all of its power from its size alone. It's such a simple concept, it's a shame other solder suckers don't practice it.But now it's time to talk about the downsides. Luckily, only one comes to mind, but this too is related to its gargantuan size. I'm talking about how difficult it is to keep the solder sucker steady when I press the release button. Part of the problem is that the button is so close to the top, I can't grip it where it feels the most natural. It feels like gripping it near the tip is where I would have the most control, but I have to keep my hand closer to the top so I can press the button when the solder has liquefied. Combine that with the power that is generated when the spring activates and there's suddenly so much suction inside of it, and it becomes less about control, and more about pre-planning where the inevitable path of destruction will take place. In other words, yes I have bent pins with this.But even that one flaw isn't that big of a deal. It's vastly out-weighed by the pure joy I feel when I desolder each pin, one suck at a time, only for the chip to hit the desk when the last pin is desoldered. Each pin, desoldered so perfectly on the first try, it falls right out of the board on the last pin. It's exactly what I have always aimed for when desoldering, but never achieved until I got this sucker. I'm giving serious consideration to buying a second one, in case the first ever breaks.Overall, I would say this solder sucker is a FANTASTIC deal, and by far the best solder sucker I've ever used. I would highly recommend this solder sucker to anybody, including YOU, regardless if this is your first solder sucker, or your last because you're about to give up on them forever and buy a Hakko desoldering gun. Try it and, like me, you'll find yourself also saying, "Can you believe they're charging $300 for a Hakko desoldering gun when this beast is only $6???"They should name this solder sucker, "The John Henry" because it's the only non-electric solder sucker that can compete with the finely tuned desoldering monster that is the Hakko desoldering gun.

Have soldering experience and have used a product like this that is similar. Used this to remove some solder on a electronic toothbrush with very small components and it worked very well! It pulled the solder right out of the through hole of the circuit board. At this point I would recommend this product, decent price, great suction. Have to be gentle with it for it is plastic! Time will tell on the quality of this product.

It works good, but not the original!I had one of these decades ago and it was excellent.This is a cheaper copy of the original. It won’t lock in storage position and the pumper plastic is very flimsy!BUT the original was $25 (decades ago) and this was only $6.99True, you get what you pay for!Overall, since I don’t do much soldering anymore, it’s ok.

As others have said, it is large, but it does its job well. I used it to replace a battery on a Sonicare toothbrush. It was my first time using one, and so took a moment to get used to, but it did great and was easy to clean. You can't beat the price.

Works well, cleans out well, good tips.

I haven't used this very much but it seems to work great when I have used it. It pulls solder very well and seems to clean out easily.

Has good suction, easy to use and clean. The tip, however is best for more common jobs. I used it on a laptop motherboard where I was replacing the power jack, which is miniscule at best. In this use it did not do well, as the solder I was attempting to suck up was quite small and hard to get to. I modified the tip, but trying to hold the iron and work the button on the side was quite a struggle, especially since i did not want to damage surrounding components.

This product was a pleasant & unexpected surprise the first time I used it. At first glance it’s not impressive, made of plastic, and somewhat large. But wait until you use it - it’s actually pretty badass & allows fast solder removal. It’s essentially an air gun in reverse. A piston & spring mechanism create a moment of rapid suction when released, pulling heated solder up within. The solder turns to little flecks inside, so I would advise cleaning the tube occasionally to avoid damage to the rubber seal on the piston. Been using it for a couple of months without issue.

A LITTLE HARD TO GET AT SMALL PARTS.
