    High Quality Desolder Braid

    posted by nzCdog on 12/13/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    I have been using this brand of wick for years, the Goot wick is supple to use and absorbs solder well for a clean desolder job.
    Cons:
    Flux residue can require some cleaning afterwards, though this is to be expected

    Good deal on a workshop essential

    posted by MJdub on 09/04/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    If you know what this is, you probably need it and want to buy it. I don't need to convince you. This product was the same quality as I've come to expect. No curve balls. It soaks up solder.
    Cons:
    It didn't sing me a lullaby after long nights of soldering ;( Really though, no problems.

    Pros:
    - It works all right - Convenient package

    Nothing that I can imagine of. Maybe a bit stiffer (tight mesh) than I like. It sucks somewhat small amounts of solder, but, ag...

    Good product

    posted by adrianomm on 11/07/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Very good product. The same I can find in my country for 3x the price. The product came in a plastic sealed bag so it will not get oxidized.
    Cons:
    No cons. I wish it was longer but for this price it is perfect. You can buy three or more and get good discounts.

    Is a must for desoldering

    posted by axlety on 09/12/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    This works as promised. It helped me very much when repairing a motherboard. Otherwise, it is very difficult to remove the solder from the holes, because those are multi-layer boards, and the solder is lead-free.
    Cons:
    Could be cheaper/longer :p

    Perfect wick for me

    posted by BramvdKraan on 05/28/2010

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    I tried a lot of cheap wicks, and this is the first one that is actually good, just place the wick on the piece of tin you want to remove, gently touch the wick with your soldering iron and it sucks up the tin, without having to use flux. The package makes ...
    Cons:
    i really cant find any cons, eccept the fact that there is only a little of the roll filled with wick, it looks like its half e...
