This desoldering iron works great for thorugh hole component desoldering
This desoldering iron works great for thorugh hole component desoldering. I am not having any issues with it getting or staying hot enough to do the work. It is able to desolder large lead free solder connections easily. Having the sucker and iron in one makes the job much easier than when they are separeate. I also like it better than the suction ball style desoldering iron that I have. I believe this is a higher wattage unit than what others are selling where reviews state that they don't have enough heat capacity. I wish that the cord was somewhat longer but it isn't a big deal. It also smokes a bit until it breaks in but after that it no longer smokes.This iron has a fairly large tip so I only recommend it for thourgh hole components. it will be too large for very small components, surface mount components, and tight spaces.

Great idea, poorly designed - UPDATED
I'm using it on old vacuum tube Leslie amps, tube-base lugs, not thru-hole stuff. "Comfortable handle" actually means, "If you hold the handle too close to the element, you will get burned!" Directions for "Easy to clean" should actually say, "Follow the directions, and you won't be able to open this tool for cleaning." Also, not quite hot enough for the job. Great idea, poor execution, sorry.Update: I later realized that this unit is strictly designed for through-hole work and I was trying to use it for old point-to-point stuff. My mistake. Sttill can't figure out how to open it fo cleaning!

Desoldering iron
Works great. Much better than having a separate vacuum pump and soldering iron. Well worth the money.

Works well but, the tip is a little big for .1 inch spaced pcb pins.

Works great! Makes solder disappear before your eyes!
The iron works exceptionally well removing solder to remove components from PC boards, etc. Just straddle the connection with the hot iron. rotating slowly around the connection and suck the solder clean out of the connection. It beat my expectations.
