YIHUA 929D-V Electric Desoldering Soldering Iron Solder Sucker Desoldering Pump with Shorter Charging Handle and Desoldering Nozzles 1.0mm 1.2mm for Through-Hole Desoldering

This is basically a marriage of a soldering iron and a desoldering pump. Once you figure out how to maintain control of the tip when you press the release, it does a pretty good job of removing solder from plated through holes. It's a lot cheaper than a desoldering station with a built-in vacuum pump, too.

I such, what can I say. I'm a newbie and can't even get my headers soldered right sometimes. I also suck as bad as copper wicking. This things transformed my life. The suction is crazy good and the to gets good and hot. Even lead free solder doesn't stand a chance. I love it and wish us bought it before

It works fairly well on through hole solder joints. Suction isn't super great but it does 90% of the job on the solder joints it doesn't totally clean (i.e. ground pins with a lot of copper around, etc.) I've found that the operation work better if you let it sit for a second over the joint before trying to remove the solder.

Works as described and a good value for the money. Simplifies desoldering, due to the multipurpose function of the heating and suction in one tool.

I used this to fix PS5 stick drift by switching out the joysticks for TMR Electromagnetic Joystick. It did the job but not without drawbacks.1. Get a soldering kit. Preferably one with flux, solder wire, copper wic, brass sponge and tweezers.2. Also something to hold the circuit board. ie: a mount with clips.3. Do this in a well ventilated area. The fumes are toxic.4. Turn on the solder and let it burn off the treatment for 20 minutes or until you don’t see smoke anymore.5. If you have trouble removing original solder, add some of your own to help it melt and suck it up better.6. Use 99% rubbing alcohol ISP and a tooth brush to clean any mess.7. Watch videos on how to solder and how to replace PS5 joysticks to help you. You’re gonna need it.8. This gets really hot. Don’t get burned!9. Do the math on how much it’ll cost you to fix it yourself and compare it to the cost to have a pro do it. This is tedious and a pain. Research!!!I fixed two controllers and did calibrations and it worked!!!

IT'S JUST A DESOLDERING IRON . IT DOES WHAT IT WAS MAKE TO DO . NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS.

I suppose for the price, it’s decent, however if you need to complete a larger project where you’ll need to desolder a lot of through-hole components, please either go with a professional desolder iron, or pickup a hot air rework; this thing takes forever to use & takes a lot of attempts per pin.

The concept of this product is amazing. I used it about 200 times before it broke in half. I learned the hard way that you don't have to push down on the solder to be removed. That might be why it broke. When it did work, this tool was amazing!
