Love this desoldering pump . way cheaper than the $500 station type and does the same thing . Heats up fast and good vacuum . Jut keep it cleaned out and your good to go . If your used to to the cheap manual hand suckers then you will want to kick your self for waiting to get one of these .***** TIP OF THE DAY ***** when done using he soldering pump turn the heat up to 450 c let heat up then point the nozzle up and hit the suction button/trigger and it will clean the solder out more easily then just using the ram rod cleaner alone .
