Avoid this plastic mess at all costs.

Media could not be loaded. This demolition pump is by far the biggest piece of junk I've ever bought from Revain. It worked fine in my hand three times after taking it out of the box but the first time I tried to use it to desolder some connections it fell apart in my hand and that was it. A small screw on the side opposite the trigger has so little contact with the plastic housing of the frame that it cannot hold the spring tension and housing together. I tried tightening the bolt a bit, but then the spring mechanism inside hit the end of the bolt shaft and prevented the trigger from pulling deep enough to release the spring, so it's absolutely a no-win scenario. I went as far as cutting the screw shank a little shorter but it made no difference and I still couldn't get the device to stay together. I was very frustrated with the lack of quality and it ruined my attempt at a project tonight. He went in the trash and I'll find a better metal case of the block.

Pros
  • Welding and Soldering
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected
