How to Use the Desoldering Pump Step 1: Press the plunger down until it is been locked and you will hear a click; Step 2: Make the tip of the soldering iron to the solder joint and allow the solder to become fully liquid; Step 3: Move the tip of the pump next to the molten solder. Move the iron out of the way and immediately cover the liquid solder puddle with the pump's tip. Pull the trigger; Step 4: Repeat this process if necessary.

Used to correct mistakes with small boards on PCBs, re-solder mechanical keyboard switches, remove relays and other components from printed circuit boards, unsoldering old wires, desoldering computer parts like motherboards, clean alloy on smd components and more. Lays flat: When not in use or when in-between jobs, the desoldering pump lays lat with the hot tip elevated to prevent from unwanted burns. Easy Operation: Designed for right or left-hand operation. Quickly heats up and uses a strong vacuum pump to remove solder. 30 Watt: Powerful enough to remove common soldering mistakes found on small devices. Heats up quickly.

Third of a Century later, this is still great.
I bought this one from Jameco in the '80s I get more to gift whenever it's on sale. If you swab the metal crumbs out and silicone grease the seal ring gasket on the piston and tip, it pulls like new again.

"holy crap it worked"
I said that out loud after I used it. (And my language was a little more colorful.) Anyway, I am TERRIBLE at desoldering. I usually end up making the problem worse or completely destroying the board. Well not anymore... it very cleanly removed all the solder from some pot sliders, and with some needle nose pliers, I was able to yank it off the board with minimal effort. I wish I bought one of these years ago.

Makes the job easier
I've been soldering for 30 years, and removing solder from through-holes is always difficult. Even using that nice $250 tool with the built-in vacuum (which I have) , it is still really difficult. The absolute worst is trying to wick solder out of a through hole, it never works, and is very frustrating. This tool makes it a little easier. It isn't an instant miracle worker, but if you stay at it, you can get that solder out of the hole. See my two photos of an 8 pin through-hole component where I was able to use this tool to remove the solder. Still took me about 15 minutes. I really wish this iron had an auto shut-off, and the sucking mechanism is pretty weak. However, for the price, this tool is completely worth it as I had no other options for removing solder from these through-holes. Recommended.

Pleasantly surprised!
This little powerhouse is an essential tool for my home repairs.. it can do the work of a higher priced desolder for a fraction of the price.. the only difference is it will take a little more time to manually compress the pump.. definitely recommend!

Excellent. Convenient one-handed operation.
So far so good. Seems well designed. Hope it keeps working as good as it did for my 1st project.

much better than just a pump
So I have been a hobbyist for a long time. Desoldering components is a pain. So what are the choices? 1) Use a hand vacuum pump. This has never worked well for me, esp these more modern circuit boards. Heat up the component and hit it with a pump - by the time you do that, the solder has resolidified. 2) Wick and flux. This never worked for me until I learned you need to use solder flux as well. dip the wick into the flux (or put a drop on the wick). Most often works. But you need to clean the burnt flux afterwards. Also takes time,. 3) Solder pump/gun. The vacuum ones cost about $250. So I decided to get this to try how it works. Vacuum is mediocre. Takes about 4 tries to get the solder off and then still have to pull the heated component out. Doesnt just drop off. But this is faster and leaves open holes in the board. So this is much better than wick and flux. For someone who uses this several times a year, this is the most cost effective option. Oh, BTW, the first time, heat it outside for 20 min to burn off whatever it is that smells.

GAME CHANGER!!!
must have for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts works amazingly well, but frequent maintenance is a must!!!! usually needs to be cleaned after desoldering 1 keyboard
