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?

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

Traceless:
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.

Buy it from Ebay. Lots of sellers with sane prices. Just check the feedback.
