The braid is made from fine copper strands measuring 1.0mm wide, wound onto a miniature reel. When you press heated braid against a joint, the copper wicks up the molten solder and pulls it away, leaving the point clean and ready for rework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reel uses a pop-open design, so you can pull the braid you need and keep the rest tidy on the spool. It holds 1.5 metres of braid, which is plenty for repeated cleaning of solder pads, through-holes and connection points. At just 7 grams and measuring 10 x 52mm in diameter, it slips easily into a toolbox, a component drawer or a jacket pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe find braid like this handy for tidying up after a repair, removing surplus solder from bridged pins, or preparing a joint before you resolder it. Also known in some places as desoldering wick, it works alongside a solder sucker for bigger jobs. To use it, place the braid over the joint, apply the tip of your soldering iron on top, and let the heat draw the solder into the copper. Move to a fresh section of braid as each part fills up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBraid width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnrolled length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10mm x 52mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.01KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow wide is the braid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper braid measures 1.0mm across, which suits fine work on small solder pads and through-hole joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much braid is on the reel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach reel holds 1.5 metres of braid, giving you plenty for repeated cleaning and rework tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as desoldering wick?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
