Thank you. I bought a similar unit in Australia, and its instructions were terrible. Your instructions are great!

Great tool, I bought the same one only 100 euro, and I used it to take out a 13pin deflection ic from a monitor chassis and this tool made it really easy! Thanks for the great tutorial!

Simple, straightforward, useful video. Thanks!

I have the same one bought a few months ago. Never tried it because i am like if i start things i want to get further with it. Have to learn the basics of electronics and now is the right time. I am up to recap my good old Sansui amplifier. Bought much more tools like a scope, tone generator and a 35kg variac/isolation transformer. As i am on budget it took me some time to collect all the stuff i think i need for doing work on electronics.

Nice video, thanks for posting it.

I might be wrong, but if there is something stuck inside preventing you from cleaning the channel good idea would be to increase temperature to the max

to unclog the barrel , set the temp to maximum using the pin.It's easy.

Why is it that the most interesting flicks have the less higher likes?

Is the desoldering gun got hole on its tip?What temp. use?

What I have found, is that setting the temperature too high ie, at 400 degrees, and ..leaving it there, tends to, ..cause, more frequent clogging, of the inlet tube. I prefer instead, to set the temperature down at 300 degrees which seems to work OK for Desoldering most small components and also seems to result in less, clogging, and then, only setting the temperature higher, ..if, and when, actually needed, ie, when trying to desolder a LARGE thermal-mass-component, or, components mounted upon a large thermal-mass-area, of the PCB’s copper lands, and then ..only leaving it at that higher temperature, for as long, as actually needed to do that particular task. I also regularly add a small ‘ball’ of ‘loose’, steel wool, into the solder collecting Tube, which also improves the life-span, of the filter, at the rear of the collection Tube, by stopping the majority, of the molten solder, ..at the steel wool, as it transits through the Tube. Also, adding a small dab, of liquid resin flux, with a small paint brush, onto a ‘dry’ looking solder joint, before trying to desolder it, helps the solder to then liquify and mobilise better, when the hot, gun tip is applied to it. Basically does the same thing, as Re-Soldering the joint, with a soldering iron, first, before trying to desolder it with the gun. 😉👍

Did you call the spring a feather ?

strange birds in Holland.....

These are completely useless for small components. Only large ones.
