Pros & Cons
Pros
Small size and shape are great, and it simplifies getting rid of excess or dirty solder. It's a ball that fits snugly into the housing. It moves around easily during cleaning because it's very lightweight.
Clean tip makes soldering process much cleaner, and aids in having a decent-looking work. No matter how cluttered a workbench is this thing is easy to spot. Now it is a much more useful tool to store screws and nuts (in the tray) until reassembly.
Cons
The only thing metal is the brass insert.
The holder is flimsy and a great disappointment. This product is lousy and certainly not worth the money.
Highlights
Quality
Fast shipping and product is good thz
Overall its a good brand and product
There are replacement sponges available for this product
Packaging/appearance
Came right out of the package ready to use made it easy for me to keep my solder iron tips clean
I wont go back to using the desoldering wick after using this
Other than packaging and a little repair
While this kind of packaging is alright for some things the tip cleaner housing was bent partially one side
Competitiveness
I had been using a braided copper desoldering wick to clean my soldering gun so i decided to try this
Such a simple thing but its effective and its reasonably priced
It does have some antislip foams at the base but they dont work very well
