MISUMI Solder Wick Blotters / Desoldering Guns
A solder wick / desoldering gun is a tool for removing residual solder after removing a through-hole circuit board, bridge or surface mount. It can be used not only to remove residual solder but also to remove failed solder. There are solder wicks, desoldering guns, and solder removers that are compatible with lead-free solder. Solder wicks have the characteristic that they can achieve desoldering even with a low wattage soldering iron. In addition, they also have antistatic specifications, etc. Desoldering guns have a self-cleaning function, etc., and are often compact, so they are convenient to carry around. In addition, there are hot tweezers, etc. that can grab chip parts and remove them to remove solder that has fallen into gaps between very narrow parts.
