Very useful in SMT – Goot Wick Soldering Remover (2mm x 1.5M) Reviews

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

Pros:
-It's a way cheaper and better than that I can get here in Brazil;
-It has the enough flux to absorb the solder; You don't need to use extra flux like some bad quality wicks.
Cons:
- No cons at all.
- Pay attention to the 2mm width, depends the amout of solder to remove the 1.5mm or 2.5mm width would do it better.
Other:
"BRAIDED COPPER WIRE DESOLDERING WICK SATURATED WITH WASH-FREE RMA FLUX"
Very useful to remove the excess solder from fine pitch SMT components.
You should get some Isopropanol to keep your work clean.
Probably in the next order I will try the 2.5mm width.
Bottomline:
What can I say? This one is better quality and the half of the price than the wicks I usually get here
Thank you DX!!!
