Also known as a solder sucker, it uses a spring-loaded plunger that draws molten solder away from the joint in a single stroke, leaving the board ready for rework or a fresh connection. The all metal body gives it a solid feel in the hand and stands up well to regular workshop use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the professional version, so it is built for the sort of repeated use you get on a busy bench rather than the occasional home repair. The heat resistant PTFE (Teflon) nozzle handles contact with hot solder without deforming, and it is a wearing part you can replace when it eventually softens or splits. The plunger action is firm and consistent, which matters when you are working through a run of joints and want the same pull every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe supply desoldering pumps as part of a wider range for electronics repair and assembly work. Use it alongside a soldering iron: heat the joint, bring the nozzle close, then release the plunger to draw the solder up into the barrel. Press the release button afterwards to eject the collected solder so the pump is clear for the next joint. It suits hobbyists, repair shops and production benches alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoldering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a desoldering pump used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt removes excess or unwanted solder from a joint.

Desoldering pump and solder sucker are two names for the same tool.

It is a wearing part and can be replaced once it softens or splits over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clear the solder from the pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress the release button after each pull to eject the collected solder from the barrel, then it is ready for the next joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I still need a soldering iron?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The pump only removes solder once it is molten, so you heat the joint with an iron first, then use the pump to draw the solder away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53272083988747,"sku":"700.990UK","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/700990UK_0.jpg?v=1785042532","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/mercury-desoldering-pump-all-metal-body-pro-tool","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
