| Good solder wick (for german market) |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Traceless:
Hi everyone, I cheaped out on solder wick (bought it for 1€) and I regret it. As far as I read on the forum Chemtonics wick seems to be a good choice, unfortunately that stuff is insanely overpriced on the german market (between 12-15€/1.5m). So currently I'm looking for alternatives. Some wicks that I found and look promising: MG Chemicals 424-LF Ersa No-Clean Stannol no-clean Can anyone recommend any of these, or maybe a completely different type/brand that is available in Germany for <= 5€/1.5m? |

Goot is good. A desoldering gun, must be cleaned every morning, is way way far better. |

Hey Kerlin, thanks for the recommendation you mean this one? I actually do have a desoldering gun, but there are still occasions where I prefer to use wick, mostly for small corrections or when cleaning SMD-pads. |
