MG Chemicals 425-NS No Clean Super Wick Desoldering Braid, 0.075" Width x 5' Length

I was using wick I bought from CPC made by Multicore before this one, and that worked okay but I would have to soak it in liquid flux to get it to do it's job probably. This one is much higher quality, it's got better flow with its flux and I don't even need to add more flux to it (but more flux doesn't really hurt).This thing just sucks up solder without me having to turn up my iron and flood it with flux, would recommend!

I've had quite mixed experiences with solder wick before, it's performance matters a lot to me as I hand solder fine pitch SMD parts quite regularly. I thought I would try MG Braid as I have heard good things about it, and I couldn't get the Soldamop I usually use quickly enough.This has turned out to work very well, and the nice big reel will last a while even at the rate I use it!

Did the job - melting and lifting old solder in a delicate operation on the electronics of my key fob, which had a broken rechargeable battery. left the area ready to solder in a new one. All good. Star deducted because it wasn't as efficient as expected.

I've bought several cheaper desoldering wicks on here that claimed to be pre-fluxed but weren't - they just don't work very well, and are too tightly braided, so even if you add flux, they still don't wick up the solder properly but just stick to the surface. After a PCB track got ripped up by one such wick, I decided I'd had enough of cheaping out, and got a roll of this MG Chemicals Superwick. The difference is incredible. It's well coated in flux, and the braid actually has room in it for the solder, so it soaks it up very effectively, and comes away without sticking, leaving completely clean pads. Wish I had got it sooner.

As a hobbyist / semi-professional making and repairing audio effects and hi-fi I've had several brands of braid through my hands and have struggled to remove a component without tearing the printed circuit track or ruining what might otherwise be a reusable component. THIS braid is so utterly easy. I haven't a clue why but it's effortless - it could be because it's slightly thinner than 'standard' braid.The fact is, having tried a reel I decided to buy this box of 10 reels because I can't see myself changing to a different brand now. It's making hobby life so much easier.

great quality and makes a big difference to get a clean soldering point

Simply a must for repairing circuitry. Good amount provided, great quality, soaks up solder like a sponge!

Worked very well , better than the de-soldering tool i bought

Works very well on circuit boards - no need to add flux or solder to clean up old and dry connections.

I have tried two other brands of desoldering wick with limited success (even when brand new).I tried this brand and the results were like night and day compared to the others. With this brand, the solder was wicked/absorbed far more effectively.This brand has flux impregnated in the copper braid. I don’t remember if the others I’ve tried had the flux.This stuff works great!

Fait le job

Llegó rápido. Es caro, pero su calidad es excelente. Funciona muy bien esta trenza y lo cara que es se compensa con su eficiencia, con lo que digo que por su rendimiento es la mejor.
