I wish they had a finer tip for it. will work great for desoldering pcb's

After letting unit heat up for 15-20 minutes unit would not remove solder for circuit board. Tried multiple contacts on board with no success. Also could not remove suction tube. Sending it back no use to me.

Doesn’t meet the standards for what I need. Heat not sustainable

This desoldering iron works great even in tight spots I would recommend this product.

A heating unit integrated with a solder-siphon is a much better tool than a separate siphon (used in conjunction with a soldering iron). I will probably throw out my separate siphon. Even so, it may still require using a desoldering-wick to complete the job. I had to remove circuit components which had six connections each, and preserve the component in the process (to resuse it). It took a combination of using both nozzle sizes and a desoldering wick, but patience and persistence paid off. I also used the technique of adding soldering to a connection, then desoldering. This is because the slightest amount of soldering remaining on a connection makes the component hold fast. Solder may be hidden in a crevice of a lead-hole, and by adding solder then desoldering, all remaining "hidden" solder is swept away in the siphon flow.When you think about it, the practice of soldering is rather easy but the practice of desoldering not always so easy. Desoldering actually needs the attention of reliable tools.

This little kit comes with two 2mm wide -1.5m long solder wick packs, a 30 Watt desoldering tool with a built-in solder sucker, a sponge with a holder, and brass shavings solder tip cleaner (keeps iron hot, unlike a wet sponge). It also has a small tool to clean the desoldering tip and an extra tip. It also comes with a small spool of 63/37 solder. To test it, I removed 4 resistors from an old IDE circuit board (built in 1991) successfully. Three of the resistors came out after sucking out the solder, and the 4th one came out after heating one end and pulling it out with a needle nose plier. Circuit boards from this era (pre-2000) were wave-soldered at the factory with a tin/lead alloy, which has a relatively low melting point. This tool works well on tin/lead alloys used in solder from that era. Modern solder used in soldering boards by amateur do-it-yourselfers is still available in a tin/lead alloy. The European Union banned the use of lead-alloyed solders in consumer goods in about 2003, so it will take a higher temperature to melt the solder from such a circuit board. I did not test this. Also, modern circuit boards are largely made with surface mount components, which are much more tricky to remove without special tools to remove surface mount ICs and resistors. This kit does work for simple circuit boards, and amateur projects, so I am pleased with it. It takes about 10 or 15 minutes to come up to full temperature before you can remove a solder connection, but I don’t see that as an issue. This kit will prove to be a big help for small amateur circuit board projects.
