YIHUA 929D-V Electric Vacuum Desoldering Iron Soldering iron Kit Solder Sucker Desoldering Pump with Shorter Charging Handle and Desoldering Nozzles 1mm 1.2mm 2mm for Through-Hole Desoldering(UK PLUG)

This has to be one of the most useful and best value tools I have ever bought. Nicely made, effective, easy to take apart and well presented with a cleaning rod and spare nozzles. A single application - suck - clears a sensibly soldered component and the pcb through hole. I have found that performance drops as the chamber fills with removed solder but there is a well documented cleaning procedure to follow. The piston seal strikes me as being vulnerable and I have had to lubricate it earlier than I'd imagined I would, no spare is provided which is a pity. It would be excelleent were one handed opertaion possible, maybe someone with larger hands would manage this, a redisign on thoses lines would go a long way to turning this into a six star product

Easy to use, quick to heat up. Keep copper tip cleaner handy to extend the life of the tip. Couldn’t be more straight forward to use and has made modifying, fixing and testing circuits a hundred times easier and less stressful. The hollow heated tip slips over the soldered pins, melting the solder so you can suck it all up with one button, rarely do you have to come back for a second suck, provided you eject excess solder in the shaft with the plunger (worth having a wet cloth to eject it onto). The build is a bit flimsy in its plastic so I’m trying not to be too rough with it, but it was a worthwhile investment for the hours of agony I’d spent trying to desolate with wick or a separate non heated solder sucker. Could be a bit more compact for smaller circuits and I haven’t tried it with SMD components which I can imagine with the size might be an issue. No temperature control either but it’s been plenty hot enough and fast working that I haven’t felt like it needed one. I might put a switch on it too so I don’t have to plug it in and unplug it from the outlet every time I need to use it. Comes with a little stand which is helpful.

I've use some professional models through work, such as Pace machines and the like, and this little gem is a very economical way to have a soldering iron and extractor all in one. It has a few different sized nozzles which are easy enough to swap out. It heats up quite quickly and is easy to use, you prime the plunger, put the tip/nozzle over the component leg, it melts the solder, you pop the plunger, it sucks up the solder. Jiggle the component leg a little to prevent it re-sticking as you remove the iron and hey presto you're removing components fairly cleanly. Very handy for replacing the joystick mechanism in console controllers when they're worn out (either not centering or getting stick drift & intermittent response for example) At nigh on £40 it's not particularly cheap I know, but compared to so many similar items it's not a bad price. Compare it to professional models and their prices are eye watering by comparison to this! Overall a very handy and very welcome to my personal tool kit, it's no doubt going to pay for itself over the years, repairing rather than replacing at great expense.

Very easy to setup and use melts lead free solder fairly fast and the suction if fairly good you must remember to tin the tip of the tool to extend the life of each tip but does the job very well and good value for money

Superb. I recapped an entire Sega Mega Drive Model 1 with this and it did a terrific job. One tip though, make sure you have some silicon grease with you, as whenever you clean out the barrel(which is super easy), the rubber gromit on the sucking barrel will get a bit sticky and you NEED to have the grease to get it moving smoothly again. For a hobbyist looking to do small work, this is perfect for the money. The only things to bear in mind are the tips which will burn out after maybe an hour or so of the device being heated. So get extra tips, which are available on amazon, and get some cheap silicone grease, and you are good to go! Pic attacthed of the work i did!

This was absolutely brilliant to begin with. Even getting components off double sided boards. It worked on any component I cared to extract - large or tiny! It was a joy to use! But after only a few uses, the 'silicone' seal where the pump joins to the heated tube has burnt and crumbled away. So now it doesn't suck at all which really sucks! So if you want a throw-away product at this price, go ahead! Ultimately it will fail. Oh and the nozzles don't last long at all. They also crumble away unevenly pretty rapidly so suction fails. I see they've now realised this and are charging £10 for a new pack, which is ridiculous bearing in mind the original product price. If you have only a few desoldering jobs and are prepared to fork out the money for this just to do those jobs, then that will probably work well for you. But any more than that and this product will fail. The 'silicone' seal is obviously very poor quality, as are the nozzles. They just can't take the heat! So overall, another product which lasts only a few uses and then becomes land-fill. You have been warned!

Is very good and fast clean the soldiers

This device looks like a great idea, but there's one big drawback. The nozzles get eaten away after just a few de-solders. Even tinning the tip causes it to be eaten away. I've followed the instructions to the letter. We all know how to tin a new tip, and the instructions are clear on this. A 20 pin CPU and two 9 pin resistor packs and the tip was only fit to be thrown away. This is a real shame as when it's working it's brilliant. The metal parts get extremely hot, much hotter than my 25W iron, don't know if this it what causes the nozzle rot. It also looks like it'll need cleaning out more often than a standard solder sucker, but that's ok. I really want to like this, but going through tips at this rate I just can't give it a better review

It is great desoldering gun. You plug in, wait 5min, add solder to tip, add flux on elements and apply it. Usually wait 5sec and press the suction. I need to apply twice or triple to remove all the solder from larger component. I am very happy. You need to clean regularly. NOTE: the suction is plastic and it have some rubber parts. As it sucks air from the heated solder, inside can be very hot! I am not sure how long it can run between service. I own few suction desoldering syringes and the all has the same rubbber sealing, so I can exchange in the future. The metal tip you can buy somere in Amazon.

I like the size but I dislike not UK plug 🔌 no holder and Sponge in the box like picture post
