The best solder sucker I've ever used.
1 of 1 found this helpful This solder sucker is great.
I've been using the £1-2 cheapies for a long time and they're alright, but this is just plain better.
It has some good points and some bad points - nothing is perfect.
Good:
- Decent suction
- Comes with spare 'hose' for the sucker tip
- Solid aluminium construction
- Flexible hose allows for better board connection
- Can be used one handed easily.
Bad:
- Doesn't always fully eject the solder you've just removed, if its a small amount. What this means is sometimes you go to remove solder and it puts some old stuff back on it. Trick is to just press the plunger a fair few times to make sure its clear.
Was a little bit wary of spending twenty odd quid on a solder sucker but if it lasts a year or two it'd be well worth it - and I'm sure it will.
