No better than the competition

I've been using Quik Chip Remover for many years but ended up using SMT Chip Remover Alloy and it doesn't work that well. I need to use more product for the same task.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Non-Automatic

I bought this to repair PS4 HDMI

I bought this to try and fix my friend's PS4 HDMI port. No matter what soldering hardware I used, I couldn't melt solder on the PS4 HDMI connector until I got this. It's awesome! Soldering this material to the HDMI port connectors allowed me to remove the port.

Pros
  • . Builds confidence
Cons
  • Some issues

Great for welding and soldering

Technical for over 30 years, this solder is very good at component removal, stays molten for a reasonable time and works best when using flux, not only good for SMD but also suitable for removing larger components with large ground shields, such as B. Joysticks on game controllers. it's as good as a chipkick and you get a lot, so that should last you for a while

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Zero

Excellent light weight.

I really like this low melting point solder. I'm not a professional solderer so this really helped. I was able to remove the 8-pin power plug very easily without destroying anything. I only needed a small amount of this solder to remove it. It will last me a long time with current use. But once I'm done, I won't think twice about buying it again.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Socket required

Wow. This stuff is like desoldering magic!

Simply snap off the tiny tip with a pair of pliers and place it next to the solder joint. Apply some heat from the soldering iron and remove the device from the board. The only complaint I have is about the cleaning. I couldn't remove the sticking metal material from some SMT devices and had trouble completely removing it from the pads with a wire wick and 91% isopropyl alcohol. It was probably a lack of skill on my part so I'll try to get better at that part of the process, just wanted toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Damaged

Essential for disassembly

I have been using this low melting point solder for many years. Use some flux and add a small drop of this solder. I usually use a regular soldering iron and heat it up so this fusible material mixes well. Then the component simply falls off. It takes a little practice and a different technique depending on the part to be removed. I've sometimes used a heat gun after adding low melting point solder just to make it easier to heat all the solder joints at once. In any case, I tried to buy lowโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hard coating
Cons
  • Negative presence
