Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Soldering Guns & Irons
Amazing, fast, accurate and clean are just some of the advantages I have found using this simple gadget. I have been soldering for nearly 5 decades building my on circuit boards as a kid. I have always been annoyed at the primitive devices used to desolder and potentially overheat a component. This is a great and inexpensive solution that works like a dream. I do not know how durable it is, but for right now it is simplicity at its best. Buy all 3 different diameter tips and the cleaning rod. Note the unit is a little difficult to disassemble for cleaning due to the tight fit of the plastic vacuum chamber.

This item combines a solder removal device and a soldering iron all in one. The plastic appears and feels a little on the light side. It may break easily if dropped etc. The nozzle is fat and might not reach into some tight spaces. For the price though you can not beat it. I am going to have to add to this. UPDATE, the unit has melted! I was leery of the light weight plastic and now know why. I have used it three times and it was put in a stand. The stand pointed down at an angle with the tip being down. The unit melted the screws that hold the handle to the base of the heating element, this caused lateral pressure on the internal tube that provides the vacuum, the tube elongated the grommet inside and the unit cannot be used. I may be able to salvage it though. It would mean cutting the studs off that the screws mount to and using metal stand offs and longer screws, a new grommet and perhaps a fiber washer.Read full review

Had to switch out a dead switch on my mechanical keyboard, and this worked great to get the switches out. Saves buying a separate pump and using two hands.

I bought on of these desoldering irons from CPC UK and I found it was useless. At least not with small components and useless for Juno 106 cards as it is too hot and bites into the PCB which can break or lift the track. The nozzle gets bunged up with solder very quickly and it isn't as effective as a cheap plastic tip spring loaded desoldering tool. I even bought tips with a smaller holes to see that they would make a difference but they didn't. Not recommended...
