Review on ๐Ÿช„ MG Chemicals 425-NS #3 No Clean Super Wick Desoldering Braid, 0.075" x 5', Green by Marc Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Expensive but worth every penny!

I had a problem with a Radio Shack wick I had left over years ago and was looking for a good wick. the wick is better when it's hot! The Radio Shack was too big and the braid was too loose. Of course you will need additional flux to use this or any other wick. I knew about it and ordered more at the same time (also from MG Chemicals). Thanks to MG Chemicals for a great wick! I will order more when they run out. Note for those who have trouble with this. With lead-free solder or oxidized solder joints, it's extremely difficult to get it to wick with ANY wick. The trick is to apply some flux (high activated flux works best on oxidized joints) and some lead solder. Then this wick will wash it out!

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged
