- Much better than the traditional solder sucker this solenoid operated combined iron / pump can be used one handed. This makes it a lot easier to remove components for repair.

I just ordered one thanks to this video. These are a LOT cheaper than the vacuum desoldering irons (easily >$200, whereas this one can be found for $30-40) and appear to do just fine for small jobs/hobbyists.
One thing I noticed, and I read it in the Amazon reviews, is that you actually should keep something nearby (a cup or something, or if you're using a silicone work surface, that works) to drop the sucked solder into. Click the solenoid, then move off the work piece and hold the iron vertical over your "trash cup" and release the solenoid. Otherwise it just shoots a blob of solder back onto the board somewhere. Not a huge deal if you're just salvaging parts, but definitely worth considering if you're say replacing a capacitor or basically want to reuse the board.
I hope I'll be able to order extra tips and keep mine well maintained, I've struggled with desoldering a lot and I have a feeling this will make all the difference!
Hi, interesting comment. As you can see in the video my unit does not spit out molten solder when the solenoid is released. When I open the unit to clean it all the solder is contained within. Perhaps this may happen with tips with a larger hole. Good luck with you purchase. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
One of my favorite means to un solder provides a thrill for the day too. I heat up the solder joint and when the solder is fluid I shoot it with a blast from DUST OFF can. Molten Solder flying mostly in places you really don't wish it too but the parts will just lift right up and out devoid of solder. Also works good for cleaning solder out of Via ways. Yes, I should really buy one of these. LOL Dangerous as hell but does the job like nothing else could or would. Yes I have a old school Solder Sucker.
He he, you really embrace Health & Safety then!! Nothing wrong with a blast from the heat-gun then banging it on the bench as well!!
I definitely won't not be doing this
Thank you for your demonstration! I’ll be ordering one the 110 volt unit immediately!
You're welcome! Have a great day!!
It's a very useful tool! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Oh wow, that would make my life so much more easier, and it looks like the components come right off! I'm going to be ordering one right away!!
You'll find it very useful and it will pay for itself in recovered components! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Thanks for this review, I have an expensive PVM monitor which requires a recap and possible ic for the sync repair so this looks handy to speed the job up. 👍🏼
You're welcome! I'm sure you know but if you're dealing with lead free solder reflow the joint first with some good old leaded and it will come off easier! Have a great day!!
Thanks for the review I'm thinking of buying one of those.
I guess hoarding PCBs is part of our hobby. I always get old and broken devices from people.
You're welcome! I'm proud to be a packrat! Have a great day!!
You need to hold the button and only release it above a garbage bin or something because it will spit out the solder when you release the button
Way back some 15 years ago when I study basic electronics, thats my frustration everytime I desoldering then I wish I have 3 or more hands to do that or it just came to my mind that someone may invent a devices which can melt the tin and suck away at the same time. If I only came back in that time with this toy 😅
That's progress!!
thank you ,, very interested an good demonstrated video 👍, i am impressed off what this Solder pump can do 👌 ,, i gonna order one
You're welcome! Have a great day!!
thanks ,, do you also know wat type off tipp/nozzle will fit for this desoldering machine ? an where to by at the web ? i want to buy some for sprare
@@mmols9904 I think the nozzles are particular to this tool, I have not seen them for sale separately. They are very tough nickel plated and I would think practically indestructible!!
I thought I was the only one that saved old components. Nice review.

I’m sold!
Wow! That's a really fantastic tool! 😮
Great review, man!!! Really nice! 😃
Thanks Mario! It will come in very useful.
they work well but you have to be carefull when you release the trigger the molten solder goes everywhere and its hot :) i experienced it! 😅😂
Leather gloves and a face mask for the health and safety types I guess! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Hi, I would like to ask you for a small favor if possible. When disassembling my desoldering iron, which is the same as yours, the four cables that go from the tip and the switch to the motherboard came loose and I don't know how they were soldered. Could you tell me or send me an image? and thank you very much for your videos keep it up (sorry for my English I'm from Spain)
You have mail! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
amazon one worked great
Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Wow this is a nifty tool, has been really well made and certainly sucks well, in all a great tool/review and brilliant demonstration, keep them helpful vids coming 👍 👍 👍
Yeah, it sucks alright!

Thanks
You're welcome! Have a great day!!
how well does it old over time? other products stop working after a few month, the tip deteriorates badly.
The one I have still works fine. It is a solenoid in a tube, there is not much that can go wrong! The tip on mine is chrome plated, unless it is abused badly it will last forever!
Its pretty interesting there is a similar version of this on amazon and all the reviews complain it never gets hot enough so i wonder if they just put a US plug on the 220v iron and sold it in the states.
It's funny that you should say that, if you look at the product photos here : bit.ly/Solder_Sucker You can see it is fitted with a US plug! Mine came with an adaptor for Europe. Also there is no voltage marked on the unit itself.
I got one in the usa now what do I do?
How does the action work? Do you reload the plunger like with a normal desoldering pump? Or is the pump electric?
The plunger is activated by a solenoid so it is completely automatic. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already!
I’m sold
Hey thanks! It is a very useful addition to the workbench. Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing and I have one and its not that "hot" ! , if you can help me to find 40 watt heating element or to rewind it for higher wattage I would be grateful . Keep up the good work .
Have you checked the mains voltage where you live? In my village there are parts where it is only 210v on a good day! Take a look at these heating elements: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdA6VxZ You will need to check they are suitable for your unit. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@1nformatica Thanks a lot for your fast reply and for the link and keep up the good work .

@@1nformaticachào bạn , bạn cho tôi hỏi là thiết bị này có bền không ? Va linh kiện thay thế có mua được không ? Thank
@@thannguyen8404 Tôi đã sử dụng của tôi trong nhiều năm mặc dù nó không phải là hàng ngày. Bạn có thể nhận được các bộ phận làm nóng và vòi phun thay thế. Cảm ơn đã xem, chúc một ngày tốt lành!
I bought this long time ago and it never got hot enough and I couldnt figure out how to adjust it or anything. I waited a good amount of time for it to warm up and nothing.
There is no way to adjust the temperature. If you are in the USA maybe you were sent a 220v model? Thanks for watching, have a great day!
You probably were sent an 110v model to use in 220v
Wondering if the tip has any high voltage separation issues , like if i use another soldering iron along side it to assist in higher temperature joints will it explode in my face in some horrific mess?
I don't believe anything bad can happen. The suction is provided by a solenoid in the handle of the sucker, worst case it will burn out. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already!
@@1nformatica hè mean its not eart on the ground.
So for microchips its not a good tool.
Personal i do not use on microchips electrische iron with out eart ground
For some i use a gas iron to work with.
One i have a small point .
@@dyslectische If working on sensitive components you can ground the board and wear a wrist strap. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Hello Friend. You are the first one I see reviewing this model in black. Can you tell if this is already an improved version of that model in blue? Is it easy to clean the solder that accumulates inside? Thank You so much.
Hi, I am not aware of any difference other than one is blue and costs more! Cleaning is simple just unscrew the "knurled" part and the solder residue can be easily removed. The inside of the tube has a chrome plated disk that the solder just rubs off. If you have any other question let me know. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already!
@@1nformatica Thank you for those clarifications. Won 1 subscriber.
@@francopieruccinifaria9454 Great thanks! Lots of good stuff to come!
thanks for the review, however, you only tried on single-side boards. How does it perform on double-sided PCBs?
It is just as effective, plated through holes are plated through holes! Another tip, as these days everything is soldered using lead free solder, I reflow the joints with leaded solder and apply flux when removing. makes things easier. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
❤
So nice where i buy that ang how much
You can find it here in many options : s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9wCEbL Thanks for watching, have a great day!
I got a way cheaper and much more simple version of this for about 3 dollars. It also has the interchangeable nozzles, but how do you remove one to put the other? Do you unscrew it?
Yes, the nozzles just unscrew to change. Can you post a link to the one you use? I would like to see it. Un saludo desde Andalucia.
@@1nformatica Sure thing! It's this one, just remove the '&' symbols to see it

I need one of these
Everybody needs a sucker!
bought one last week never worked like this would not heat solder up to remove ............
You need to contact your supplier for a refund or exchange. You are not possibly using a 220 volt one on 100 volts? Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Do you also know what type off nOzzle will fit for this BBT-580 desoldering machine an where can i order these on the web ?
I think the nozzles are particular to this tool, I have not seen them for sale separately. They are very tough nickel plated and I would think practically indestructible!!

@@1nformatica I bought it and it works really well. However, I can't unscrew the lid to remove the solder waste. Did that happen to you?
great review, do you know how to empty the solder ??
Look at this point in the video : czcams.com/video/n0QtewXyiPU/video.html See the knurled part near the tube, that unscrews and you can easily remove the solder and any other gunk inside. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@1nformatica Amazing. How is it holding up? Is it still usable after so long time??
Ofc. thank you for the video
@@lnbabz Still working well, not something I use everyday though! The tips are chrome plated and tough, it operates by a solenoid so really there is little to go wrong.
@@1nformatica Amazing, thank you. I will get it :)
@@lnbabz I think you will find it very useful.
Good information sir🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome! Have a great day!!
Does it solder also ? Or its exclusively desoldering tool only?
It is only for desoldering. I made the iron I use from a kit : czcams.com/video/PZxB9FBH3l8/video.html Thanks for watching, have a great day!
nice tool

Hi have you tried it for removing solder bridges on SMD IC's? When I solder in an SMD IC I often get a bridge across the legs. I use a manual sucker but its awkward - you really need 3 hands.
Great Video Thanks
Dave
I would not use this for SMD work. I use "solder wick" desoldering braid : bit.ly/SolderWick This with a "knife blade" style tip works well for me. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already!
Does this need tinning like soldering tips? Sorry I'm new to this things.
It does not need tinning. However I usually add a little solder to the component to be removed especially if it has been soldered with lead free solder. Adding a little leaded solder helps the "flow"!
@@1nformatica I cant find replacement tips/nozzle for this on the online store I use. Does the tips/nozzle last long?
Brand name & Model???
❤❤❤
You're welcome! Have a great day!!
How can I convert to 110v?
Maybe use a transformer? 50W 110V To 220V Voltage Transformer bit.ly/110Vto220V

I have Aliexpress links in the video description also. Always pays to shop around, prices change all the time! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
is worth it or not ??
It is worth it to me, I have used it to remove components that I then use to repair other equipment. I find it very useful. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@1nformatica ur welcome bec i want order it and i want people opinion and thank for ur share man btw i want ask u do u have it now and still working??
@@giovannigiorgio2262 Yes, still have it and working well. It is not a tool I use everyday but when you need it ..........
@@1nformatica i see 👍👍ofc we dont desolder everyday 😁😁except those who fix ps4 or ps5 u know electronic fix shop , soldering was hard for me but after i practiced it's easy now , so i go with desoldering , i cant use wick its hard for me this is why i want that tool
@@giovannigiorgio2262 Good luck with your projects. You may find dipping solder wick in liquid flux will make working with it easier!
That thing is terrible I had one and it never got hot enough to get the solder molten
Maybe you had a faulty unit? As you can see mine works well. Also adding a little solder flux to the job may help. As always non -leaded solder is more difficult to remove because of its higher melting point. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already!
i bought it and guess what stop working after 10 minutes , its dead , only heat is working now
Sorry to hear that. Maybe there is some solder stopping the solenoid from moving? Have you cleaned the chamber out? Otherwise contact your seller. Good luck!
@@1nformatica there is no solder stopping anything i clean it the pump is down
@@giovannigiorgio2262 You should get a refund from your seller. At the end of the day it's a switch and a solenoid, not much can go wrong!!
@@1nformatica now this is the problem if the seller want me to send it back will cost more than goods itself , i dont know what i do
@@giovannigiorgio2262 When I have had a problem with an item I send a video showing the fault and usually I am offered at least a partial refund. Time to negotiate!

@@1nformatica
May i ask you why it is not suitable for motherboard?
I guess sufficient temperature with solder could desolder motherboard's THT, Did I get it wrong? even that is all covered by lead-free solder (mixing lead contained solder and flux could drop melting temperature)
