> 24 hourJapanese made to higher precision and quality than similar no-name tools made in China. This little sucker (pun intended) does an amazing job for its size, and the replaceable high temperature silicone tip does indeed stand up to direct contact with a hot soldering iron, unlike the many plastic solder suckers I was using before. I mostly work on older, hand wired tube radios and such, work that is very similar to working on tube guitar amps and other hand wired electronics. I have also used it on some solid state electronics, and it handles circuit boards well also. Dont forget to get the pack of spare tip material when you order!

> 24 hourVery impressed, but fragile. So handle it like Cinderella slipper, hold it, play with it, talk to it, go to sleep with it but whatever you do DONT DROP IT

> 24 hourI do repairs on guitar pedals for work and have a nice Hakko Desoldering gun to use, but needed something smaller (and significantly cheaper) for builds/repairs at home. The build quality and feel of this thing is top tier. Easy in the hand, the plunger is easy to use, and the suction power is super powerful- the first time I used it, I was shocked. I ordered another one to use at work for harder to reach places on the circuit board. 10/10 worth the extra money

> 24 hourWish Ive known this was out there. I used it few minutes it got delivered. Very easy to use and works like a dream. Sucks the melted solder clean off the circuit board. The build quality is geat and I am sure it will last for a long time. The extra tube is a great touch.

> 24 hourId say this is one of the best solder suckers out there. Truly good suck, it is solid and easy to get into tight areas. The cheaper suckers usually take a couple sucks to get up all the solder, but this sucker seems to get it up with one or two sucks. Highly recommended for any solder job.

> 24 hourUsed this solder sucker on the night I received it from Amazon. Great performance and no disappointment. Should serve well on my electronics bench for many years. Model: VT-001-SS by Vampire tools.

> 24 hourThis thing feels solid, it has great suction, the silicone tip forms well around the solder joint, and basically its pretty awesome. I had an old radio shack solder sucker that had some stiff white nozzle that made it hard to get a good seal. Lost it somewhere while moving. Got a free one with a solder station I bought. Build quality was absolute garbage, it felt like a 25 cent giveaway at a convention. Had to buy a new one. Couldnt be happier and worth every penny.
