Engineer SS-02 Solder Suction Device

It is my opinion that this is the highest quality manual desoldering tool I have ever come to own! You will not find another made like this. Built to last a lifetime !!

The SS-02 is peak-engineering and design realized. It saves time, effort, & yields better results than the cheaper alternatives. I really only regret not buying this sooner. Desoldering ~65 switches with a cheap-o solder-sucker resulted in 3 or 4 instances of binding and needing to stop, open, & clean the tube. it took forever. Whereas, when using the SS-02 for an even larger amount of switches to desolder: i was able to work uninterrupted by tool maintenance and cleaning. The work became enjoyable! My attached photo is the end result of non-stop desoldering with no interruptions needed for cleaning or unbinding - though i did so afterwards to protect it from neglect. The only area for improvement i can think of is with the silicon tip - which i place directly on the ~350°C soldering tip when desoldering (a debated practice, from what ive researched): after doing this a few dozen times the silicon tip does show wear and functional degradation; though this is easily remedied by rotating the tip 180° &or flipping the silicon to its unused side. You can do this 4 times per sectioned tip, so itll still be a long time before i need to shop for silicon tubing. But I think this tool is an example of what peak-engineering and craftsmanship looks like and it would be easy to take it for granted had i not suffered through the less costly alternatives. An easy add to my short list of favorite tools for electrical work.

It works incredibly well. I was somewhat skeptical that it would be as effective as it is, but it’s pretty satisfying to see a large plug of solder ejected after it removed it in one try.

Good product for me as an occasional solderer. Worked as advertised.

Just buy it you will not regret it. Ill take this over an electronic pump any day

The best manual solder sucker on the market. Can be a bit finicky to use, but miles ahead of any other pump type tool available.

I use this on my solder sucker. It transforms cheap solder suckers into awesome solder suckers! Highly recommended! These will make your desoldering jobs go MUCH FASTER!

It works amazingly well! I was surprised. Very pleased with my purchase. Highly recommend

The silicone tip helps you get in close to the solder to remove it. The fit and finish are outstanding and the suction is really strong. The best removal tool i have used in my 40 some years of electronic hobby work.

nothing to dislike
