Chip Quik REMKIT SMD/SMT Chip Removal Alloy (REMKIT)

I give 4 stars because they could of left the solder one piece... not several smaller pieces of solder. But the product works great! Solder flux is wonderful, the solder itself does melt almost immediatly contacting the iron. You just bridge (short) all the pins on SMD and almost literally just wipe it off. However!!! Make sure you are careful to remove the now excess solder... it can jump onto other pins and short stuff. Id get the vaccume and be set. You want to be tedious and have all the right equipment, tweezers, helping hands, etc before you start

Easy to use and I didnt bring my board

The Alcohol swabs that it comes with are 70% only. Don use them; throw them away. Unless your are diabetic and need to check your blood sugar regularly. These are useless for soldering. Use only 90% or more for any electronics.

I was impressed with results having NEVER even known such existed! Worked well the first time!

This stuff is magic! With a solder pump, and following the directions, almost 100% effective in desoldering. Amazing.

This product works wonderfully when used according to the instructions. By lowering the melting point of the solder many types of parts are easily removed without special equipment. Then clean up the board and you can easily solder new parts back onto the board. The paste flux provided is wonderful and the board cleans up nicely after the faulty part is removed.

Up until recently, Ive been desoldering chips the hard way. Painstakingly getting the soldering iron to temp, using a magnifying glass to see every pin or lead that needed desoldering, and doing it one by one. With this stuff? I can just apply the flux, use a bit of the low temp alloy and run the tip around to get things nice and warm, and surface mount chips just effortlessly brush away. This saves me so much time. I dont think Ill ever go without this stuff on hand again.

I have soldering tweezers I can use for removing a lot of surface mount components, but I have to remove my iron to use them, so if Im only removing one resistor, capacitor etc..., cant get the tweezers into a tight space, or am working with a component that cant be removed with the tweezers, this stuff is incredibly handy, However, my most common use with it so far has been removing DC-in jacks, and headphone jacks from motherboards. It makes for a super quick and easy removal for anything with multiple pins.

Worth the money!!! I was able to desolder smt components that needed to be fixed. Chipquick saved the day!!!

This stuff works well. In tough areas where you have through-hole components or SMD with many pins it will save you.
