Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This solder wick is much nicer than the cheaper soldering wick you get on ebay. Tightly braided and infused with flux, it makes desoldering so much easier. None of my solder wicks have a weave as fine as this, and it just works fantastically.

This stuff * up molten solder like the proverbial sponge. It soaks the solder right up. Quickly removed solder on tough connections.

Not only is this the brand everybody brags about but it's so smooth and amazing. It works pretty quickly and doesn't really give off too much smoke/fumes. It is hard to find a quality braid.



Cons

Videos show the soldering iron/gun held over the wick on the soldered pin for a few seconds, resulting in all the solder being soaked up from both sides. I'm using a 100/140w soldering gun, so lack of heat is not the issue.

Price


This is cheap and gets the job done perfect winner lol


Good value for its money and work as expected


There really isnt much to say but it works great and for the price you cant beat it

Competitiveness


This wick is comprised of very fine gauge wire so it works way better than my last roll of wick from radioshack


The inclusion of rma flux is another standout feature


This solder wick is like night and day to cheaper alternatives


I bought some random noname brand desoldering wick it was horrible to use on old solder

    I would say this a great wick but it is on the more expensive side

    If you want to use cheaper wick you should pick up a flux pen or flux to help the solder reflow
