What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This solder * / remover is lightweight but feels sturdy. There is a foam grip around where you hold it, this makes it comfortable to hold. This solder pump is robust and built to a very professional standard unlike some of the flimsy alternatives.
The only thing i can criticise it for is the button is flush with the grip. Plunger action is smooth and release action works fine. I liked it, suction is very good compared to my old one.
Cons
Made of cheep plastic with a sponge rap definitely not good for soldering. Copper braid is useless at lifting lead solder.
Highlights
Quality
I don’t do fine pcb work just guitar circuits so for me very happy with the performance job done
The only thing i can criticise it for is the button is flush with the grip
I bought this pack for the desoldering braids rather than the pump as it comes with six reals of braid 3 different sizes 2
Price
However this did this job for me and was a good price
Packaging/appearance
I thought i would use the desoldering wick a lot more but the pump is effective enough so i havent really used the wick a lot
Competitiveness
Handy desoldering kit for a very reasonable price
Much more useful than a bulbstyle one and complete with some desoldering wick for maximum pleasure
