Tools and Hardware Reviews of Solder Sucker
Customer Review: Same as Radioshack? Don't buy it.
Summary: 1 Stars
This looks like the same junk that Radioshack sells (Model: 64-2098). If that's the case, then don't waste your money. As with many bad products, a critical component is designed, it seems, to fail quickly. In this case the release mechanism is made of cheesy plastic and has five or six shallow threads that screw into the metal barrel (see photo). Brilliant! Let's see . . . where is the most stress going to be? Of course the threads strip out after a few uses.Customer Review: Not as good as ones I've previously used
Summary: 2 Stars
This one works ok, but I found this pump to get clogged with hardened solder easier than other pumps I've used. Maybe mine has a defect or something but it seems that the suction isn't quite what it needs to be to get the solder all the way into the base. Instead it will sometimes get stuck in the rubber tip and after 4 or 5 joints will clog the tip up so the cleaner bar won't go all the way in and you have to take it apart and clean it out to do more.Customer Review: Better than nothing
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Customer Review: Couldn't get it to work
Summary: 1 Stars
I've tried about 20 times and never had it suck any solder.
I'm not very good at this, so I asked my friend who is an electrical engineer and builds circuit boards all the time, to try it. He tried several solder joints and never got it to suck anything. He has a different "sucker" that he says does work, but he is more a fan of solder wicks.
I don't recommend this product.
Customer Review: Button stopped working after less than 10 uses
Summary: 1 Stars
The product looks nice, metal barrel, nice color.
However the quality of the mechanism is very poor.
The sliding barrel slides ok but not very smoothly.
The trigger button which is supposed to lock the barrel
stopped working after literally 10 uses and no longer
locks the barrel at all.
Very disappointed - this product is going back.
