I see these listed for as cheap as $40 all the way up to over $200. Does anyone have any experience with any of the discount units that actually work well?

costs about €60 if you look hard enough - average price €100
If you buy one make sure that you buy extra filters and tips you will need them
The only other thing that I will tell you the more flux you suck up into the gun the more than likely will clog the tube in the gun but if you happen to do take the tip off and use a 1/16 drill bit if the cleaning rod does not clear the tube
Here is one on eBay

Re: Any good discount electric desoldering pumps?
Pretty much what the others say
I have this one which is same as / clone of Zongdi 915
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000...archweb201603_
And it's just wonderful to use
I find a combination of hot air wand in the left hand and this desoldering tool in the right hand will work even on motherboards with heavy ground planes
One bit of advice - when you finish desoldering, push a cleaning needle through the tip several times before you switch it off. They are a bugger to clean out if you let solder solidify in the base of the tip!Last edited by dicky96; 02-27-2021, 09:47 AM.Follow me on YouTube
