Tools and Hardware Reviews of Solder SuckerCustomer Review: For the price, I cannot complain Summary: 4 Stars
I have one of the heated bulb solder suckers from Radio Shack but I wanted something with a lower toolbox profile and that I didn't have to heat up (as I usually have the dedicated iron already warmed up when doing a project).
This product works as advertised -- it sucks solder. I used it to clean up a couple of messy jobs I had did a while back and it worked well and did not clog.
I don't think this product will last 20 years like some tools, but for the price it's well worth it.
Customer Review: Great for the Price Summary: 4 Stars
As others have said, this does the job and does it quite well for the price. Would definitely recommend.
Customer Review: Great little tool, Great price. Summary: 5 Stars
I have had one of these desoldering pumps for 10 years and it finally needed to be replaced. Works great, can't beat it for the price.
Customer Review: Never Know When You'll Need One Summary: 5 Stars
I never thought I'd have a reason to use a de-soldering pump, but recently I found myself disassembling the power supply of an LCD TV. The TV manufacturer had placed inferior capacitors on the circuit board of the power supply and after 2 years, the TV would not turn on. After much research, I found that I could swap out the bad capacitors myself and save a ton of money. So I purchased the desoldering pump to help remove the old solder from the circuit board by vacuuming up the hot solder so that the capacitor can be replaced. Though I had no experience with circuit boards, I was able to complete the task successfully, and the TV now works like new. The desoldering pump worked perfectly, and I can honestly say, "This product sucks!"
Customer Review: Not as good as ones I've previously used Summary: 2 Stars
This one works ok, but I found this pump to get clogged with hardened solder easier than other pumps I've used. Maybe mine has a defect or something but it seems that the suction isn't quite what it needs to be to get the solder all the way into the base. Instead it will sometimes get stuck in the rubber tip and after 4 or 5 joints will clog the tip up so the cleaner bar won't go all the way in and you have to take it apart and clean it out to do more.
