Review on πŸ”§ Weller 7874B ESD-Safe Aluminum Desoldering Pump: Manual, Improved SEO by Johnny Bloomer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Desoldering pump good enough but replacement tips are CRAZY EXPENSIVE!

The desolderer worked quite well. I've been working on two small circuit boards, collecting parts and adding them to my inventory. The only real problem I had was with the pump tip. I had to heat the solder joints of the board and sometimes hold the soldering iron to the solder joint and suck the solder out with a pump. Needless to say, the heat started to deform the pump tip. This reduced the efficiency of the pump (because the tip was deformed). And the replacement pump heads are INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE for this desoldering pump.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Can't remember
