The Chemtronics desoldering braid WE used for a recent project was a game-changer .Based on our own experience, this product belongs to the top-of-the-line choices in Industrial and Scientific applications. The rosin coated tip has excellent heat absorption, making it easy to remove stubborn solder joints. The only downside is that it leaves a bit of residue behind, but it's easy to clean off. Despite that, we highly recommend this tool for anyone who needs to desolder components..
Pros
Excellent for removing solder, top-of-the-line choice in the market, rosin-coated tip offers great heat absorption
The width of this solder wick is ideal for cleaning holes at 700 degrees (or less). Wider than .080 and doesn't seem to absorb as much. Smaller and you have to stretch a few inches to clean the solder hole.
