Just fork over the $ and you will be thankful that you did. This is THE tool to get the job done right! Fit, finish, and function are second to none, a testament to fine Japanese engineering and build quality.

Nicely presented and well-made product. Used a few times now for small jobs.It does fine for a manual pump but overall it's the same price as the cheapo desoldering guns which work just as well and don't require two lightning hands for your iron and the pump to get the same job done.

As someone who struggles with de-soldering (I have ruined more than a few boards trying to remove parts) this seems to have solved my problems. I just got it delivered and tried it out right away. It works great! I was able to remove some parts from a board in a few minutes that I was struggling with and just threw in a drawer for another day. And, I was able to do so without destroying the pads on the PCB, so I can now finish this project. The tip does get clogged a bit, but I just took my time and easily unclogged it with each extraction of solder. Better then all other methods I have tried, like solder wick, de-solder needles, etc. Very happy with this purchase!

It works reasonably well...It can be a little trick to get good suction, but...you probably need one.

I've had multiple cheap pumps break off and even spring across the room almost injuring technicians. This one has been great so far and feels quality!

Has a soft suction tip that allows good vacuum to the spot you are working on

The silicone nozzle is awesome.

This is a well made pump. My only complaint is the release button is requires a good amount of pressure to activate. This cause me to move my hand which takes the nozzle away from the solder blob. Takes a few tries to get it

Too small for vintage workGood for SMD
