Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
Quality
It heats up quickly absorbs solder effectively and leaves behind minimal residue making cleanup a lot easier
It significantly enhances the wicking action making desoldering not just faster but also cleaner
Quickly sucks up solder completely and with very little heat needed
I used to use cheap solder wick and never got good results with it
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

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