AUSTOR Desoldering Sucker and 6 Pcs Solder Braid Wick with Flux | 2.0mm/2.5mm/3.0mm Width, 1.5m Length, Desoldering Vacuum Pump Solder Removal Tool

No seriously the title isn't wrong. It sucks the solder straight out. Does its job. Just don't forget to clean it.

A great solder sucker and braid wick. Just found them as lifesavers in recent projects.

The solder wick is excellent and worth the price, so even though I am disappointed with the sucking too I guess I am pretty happy overall. The sucker works OK, but as others said just not particularly well. I think a good part of the reason is that you have to position it just so with one hand while you heat it with the iron in your other hand, at the same time releasing the trigger on the sucker. If you get it *just right* it does pretty well. It's just that you have to coordinate it very carefully on very small components while looking through a magnifer. I got pretty frustrated and am considering shelling out for a proper desoldering iron. Overall, it's worth a shot. I still use it and like a said the wick is pretty good.

Works well like having different sizes of solder wick

Used in swapping batteries on GBA carts. Worked fine for it. The pump ranged from mildly effective to useless. The braid cleaned up what the pump couldn't. It was my first time soldering, so I didn't have any of this stuff on hand already, so getting a small variety was a good comfort - I knew some part of this would definitely do what I needed, even if I wasn't certain exactly which part that would be. I know this doesn't sound like a 5-star review, but what it boils down to is that I didn't pay much and I'm happy with the results after using the product. Is there better gear out there? I'm certain there is. But this was the right price for this package.

Haven't used the braided wire yet, but I do use Austor solder so it should be good. The sucker has really good power compared the the blue and silver that is usually included with cheap irons and stations and it completely cleared a lot of solder from a switch in one shot. Hasn't broken and I have used it on 3 solder joints, my wrist 4 times and dry fired it 30 times, doubt it will break like other reviewers have had happen. update 3/26/21 Solder pump was full and needed taken apart to remove a jam, normal and still working better than the silver and blue one I have.

Did not expect much for the price, however I was wrong to have low expectations. The pump is great, actually have a comfort hand grip, it’s easy to use, and the durability is pretty nice on it. Very happy with the wick as well.

It does it’s job and works ok. I just wish strips were bigger. I should have paid more attention when ordering it. I’m sure it’s more meant for computer boards. I was trying to remove solder from RC motors and esc which have a lot more solder on them. Other then that it’s a good product. Really couldn’t get the sucker to work right but on bought it for the solder wicks.

Sucker works extremely well and feels good in the hand.

Es una buena oferta por estos productos. La ventosa tiene buena calidad, se siente maciza y el resorte es bastante duro por lo que la succión es potente.

This AUSTOR desoldering kit is exactly what I needed for doing my own technical troubleshooting and electronics maintenance. I recently used it for repairing the ignition switch on my 2012 Ram 1500, and it worked perfectly. The solder sucker has surprisingly strong suction and is very easy to operate one-handed, making it simple to pull old solder off of control boards and wiring in tight spaces. The included solder wick braids are a fantastic bonus—there are plenty of them, and they soak up any leftover solder flawlessly to leave a clean work surface. It is a very handy, well-made set to have in the toolbox for whenever automotive wiring or household appliance repairs pop up. If you do your own electrical maintenance, this is a highly recommended kit.

Was part of a gift

The tool worked flawlessly until something gave way leading the entire pump to explode in my hands, I suspect the spring breaking something
