Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The suction is good and the flexible nozzle allows greater contact with molten solder. The plunger also cleans out what was * before very very effectively.

Works pretty decent on 63/37 mix,standard pcb,no hole thru plating. I sometimes scavenge parts of old circuit boards or have to do rework. One-handed operation, flexible nosepiece for better seal. Length of silicone tubing for nosepiece replacement.

Cons

It clogs, jams, becomes utterly worthless. The silicone nozzle clogs after each use.

The ss-02 will fail at the worst moment possible. It is very time consuming to fix it every time it quits working. Right now, it eats up a lot of time and money being unreliable.

The silicone tip and machined piston just suck up a ton of solder, and the hardened puck it spits out is easily ejected.

The soft silicone tip really seals against the board and sucks up all the molten solder almost every time you try.

Price

Quick and easy to use and a very affordable price.

Do it, spend the money, pull the trigger, buy this solder sucker.

Just fork over the $ and you will be thankful that you did.

Otherwise, very happy with the purchase and at the price it is a steal.

Packaging/appearance

Detailed instructions for use are printed inside the cardboard backing of the package, and the package can be used to store the... Read More

Competitiveness

After being fed up with $5 solder suckers with plastic tips, i decided to take a chance on one with a flexible silicone tube ti... Read More

It saves time, effort, & yields better results than the cheaper alternatives.

So i cannot compare this to other solder suckers with which i have no experience.

I think this form factor is the original and now there are other branded versions of this on amazon.
