Getting back into the building of electronic kits, I needed a way to remove undesired solder from connections and circuit boards. In the past, I've used an electric vacuum solder remover and also solder wick. The former works beautifully but costs a ton, the latter is cheap and doesn't work well at all. So when I saw this modestly-priced device, I decided to give it a try.
I was a bit surprised when the parcel arrived and I saw the Soldapullt. It looks like a big, goofy, syringe made of black and silver plastic out of a kid's let's-play-doctor kit. Of course, that size is necessary to move the requisite amount of air; I just hadn't thought about it.
For those who've not used this kind of solder remover, you depress the plunger, forcing a piston down the barrel and compressing an internal spring. You then heat the undesired solder to a molten state, place the tip of the syringe as close as possible, and push a button on the side. This releases the spring so that the plunger jerks backward up the barrel, pulling air with it and sucking away the solder.
And it really works. POP! and no solder is left behind...assuming you properly melted the solder and got the tip of the Soldapullt close to it. Only a few minutes of practice are required.
Although plastic, this device appears to be well made. One will inevitably scar up the tip a little from brushing it against the hot soldering pencil but I've done that a dozen times and the tip is none the worse for wear. Should you really damage it, the manufacturer sells replacement tips at a modest cost.
Finally, the shiny metallic plastic of the barrel is conductive, giving you some ESD reassurance.
All in all, a really effective device. Highly recommended.
