Engineer SS-02 Solder Suction Device

Good quality build product .

I cut a section off one tube and finaggled it onto a cheap $12 desolder pump tip to give it better suction. The tube itself has a small diameter so I was afraid it would tear if pushed too hard, but I got it onto a screwdriver and transferred it to the desolder pump and can say that its fairly durable. It didnt melt at 380°C, but the small diameter means that youll have to manually unclog the pump since the lead/tin globs get stuck in the tube

Very nice tool, quality built tool.

In all honesty this device is compact, robust and easy to use. If you need a manual solder sucker for electronic work, I definitely recommend this one. Its metal too so it doesnt feel like its going to break if you push down the plunger.

Works very well

Perfect

This is a quality product, that really does the job well and is easy to use.

- Well made aluminum body. Its action feels smooth and precise. - Strong suction that can pull up large beads of solder. - Ive not had problems with this pump clogging. When the pump is primed, it can be pressed down even further and a small rod will clear the shaft/tubing of solder. - Easy to service/maintain. You can access the interior to apply grease if you feel you are losing suction. - The only step up from this pump would be a soldering iron/electrical vacuum combo which will cost significantly more and add additional points of failure. Youll need dexterity and some patience to operate this or any mechanical desoldering pump. - Cheaper desoldering pumps do not offer the flexibility/longevity/ease-of-service that this pump does.

This works great for my occasional afternoon projects. I used it for desoldering keyboard switches and it did the job great. Just be sure to replace/clean the tip ever so often.

No real cons works loads better than the cheap one I had before. Also no MURICA brand up charge
