Customer Reviews: Best DESOLDERING PUMPAugust 23, 2010 J.Twain Ordered in 19 and arrived in 23 from "SRA Soldering Products", and they had shipped it out so fast.
I haven't used this sucker yet, but I will rate it 5 stars because I have done a test of sucking my finger with it, and It sucks with a huge force that my finger is kinda of hurting in a way, and the construction of this tool is solid and light weight because it made out of aluminium. One more thing good about this sucker is that it has this little red trigger and it will suck at the same time when you press it down. That is so useful as I know from my past experience. and final words, the price is super cheap. This product can and should sell for more than $20.
Desoldering PumpJuly 11, 2010 Jake It's a plain desoldering pump. Bigger than the one I used before (it's 8in long x 3/4in diameter). It's not real high quality, but it works well enough for occasional jobs; I just used it on an X box controller S. As another review said, the tip does get filled with solder, but I never had to open it to get it out; when I push the pin back down it clears the tip. Mine is navy blue with neon orange plastic (unlike the image on the product page) and made by Steren. The package specified that it's made of aluminum. Seems like it will last for a good long while.
Works Perfectly!!!!March 25, 2010 The Hillbilly Machinist(Letart, West Virginia) It works perfectly and it's self cleaning ... what more could you want???? Did I mention it was cheap?

Great for the PriceMarch 4, 2010 G. Chance(Annandale, VA USA) As others have said, this does the job and does it quite well for the price. Would definitely recommend.
Better than nothingFebruary 18, 2010 Dave Angus(Nanaimo, B.C. Canada) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
First, I'm assuming this is the same sucker that Radio Shack sold - it sure looks the same. I was happy with it initially, because it was solidly made, and easier to use than a squeeze bulb type. However, once I got my hands on an Edsyn DS017 Soldapullt, I thought differently. The DS017 creates a stronger vacuum and moves more air, so is much more effective removing solder. I'd advise spending the extra $15 for the real thing.
