Bought this a few weeks ago to help remove solder on some small through hole electronics projects I'm working on. To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect as the reviews seem to be everywhere. However, I'm happy to report that this thing works great. In fact, it works better than some of the best solder wicks I've used. Yes, the thing is big, but I had no problem getting the tip close enough to the component to remove all of the solder with just one "sucker". Some are confused by the size of the tip. Yes, it's big, but this thing creates such powerful suction that you don't have to apply it directly to the component or solder pad - it's often close enough. Highly recommended!
