Preciva 929D-V Electric Desoldering Iron Solder Sucker, Portable Desoldering Gun,110V Desoldering Pumps with Desoldering Nozzles 1.0mm 1.2mm for Through-Hole Desoldering

Got this to do some desoldering of dip package chips on old NES boards. This product makes quick work of it. The learning curve is easy. So long as you have the surface flush with the chip, you'll have good suction and it should pull the solder up on the first or second attempt. I've managed to desolder about 5 NES PPU chips with this tool alone and haven't had any issues. It's pretty easy to remove the solder from the canister too A good tip: don't twist the tool against the board when working with small traces, just wiggle it a bit. Don't hold the tip in place for more than a couple of seconds at a time. If working with old joints, try re-tinning them with a dab of new solder and some flux before trying to use this tool to remove the solder I think this tool is an adequate replacement for something like a Hakko for most casual hobbyists at a fraction of the cost, and I don't think it's really any harder to use to get the same end result.

I've recently gotten into electronics work and retro console refurbishment specifically. A common task is replacing capacitors and using a desoldering wick gets old really fast. As a hobbyist, I can't justify purchasing a Hakko FR301, and the cheaper clones seemed a bit questionable. I decided to give a manual desoldering sucker a try and I don't regret it one bit. It's very easy to operate one-handed, and once you get some practice in, it's very quick. I started using the bigger nozzle, and while it worked pretty well, I often needed to go back through with a wick to get components to pop loose. After getting a bit more practice and switching to the smaller nozzle, this thing is working awesome. Components often pop loose after the first suction attempt, or wiggle free after tapping them with the iron. I've also removed nearly 50 components without damaging a single solder pad. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with how effective and quick this manual desolder pump works. My last project was removing 31 capacitors from a Sega Genesis and I was able to accomplish this without any major hiccups in about a half hour. This would have taken me hours with the a desoldering wick. The only real unknown is the longevity, but I do see that spare tips are available and will be ordering some just to have on hand.

I bought this desoldering tool specifically to re-cap a Pioneer SX-680 and it made my job so much easier! Obviously a desoldering station would be better suited for the task but this thing was a great stand in. That and it was 1/10th the price. I only gave 4 stars because I would’ve liked to have seen a variable temperature control. I would pay $10 more for that feature. The tool pulled all the solder out of each joint leaving it clean and easy to remove the component. That’s all you can really ask for. If you’re an electronics hobbyist, buy this tool!

Sometimes the old style of things work better, this one being no exception. A brilliant piece of ingenuity taking the old reliable but clunky large spring suction tube design and adding a heated tip. Massive burst of suction for those tiny holes that you just cannot seem to get open. Worth every penny. BTW, the other vacuum pump unit still works better on larger holes supplying long-term suction.

I bouth two times this product, it looks and seem very good, the first time due the last storm in United States the item did not arrive, however Amazon makes the refund as they are very serious and responsibles, the second time the item arrive but the case did not include 4 (four) pieces, the support, the 2 spare parts nozzles and the pin for clean. I try the product desoldering for about 30 minutes and the nozzle was burned and broken, now with out the spare part the suction is not good. When I receive the product the looks little burned as you can see in the photo near to the package, that photo was just open, so I have the little idea it was used, that is why I did not receive the complete parts. Hope the manufacturer can receive it and could send me the lacking parts

I repair CNC PC boards now and then, having to remove push buttons with 4 pins is hard with a regular desoldering tool. This tool is so easy and works great, put over pin when hot wait a few seconds and release the plunger. Picked up all the solder and cleaned the hole out. I was able to slide the switch right out and right into the board I was repairing. Did not have to adjust any of the pins and it was quick and easy. I would recommend to anyone needing to desolder and multiple pin pieces on a PC board.

Inexpensive, works well. Has lasted a long time, still going strong.

I'm going back and forth about returning this unit. Although it's been many decades since I worked as a professional electronics tech, I still do a fair amount of DIY stuff almost every day. I'd certainly get a JBC unit (at ~$1,600 a pop :) - but on my retiree budget that's like hoping to get five-lifetimes worth of solder for free. Taint gonna happen. So with seven soldering irons of various sizes, a bunch of solder wick, and several "traditional" manual vacuum pumps, I've done every way there is to unsolder something. (And if you have had the fortune to use a JBC unit, anything else will be frustrating.) Most of you looking at this review already know too that the vacuum units available here and on eBay in the $100 to $150 price range have pretty lousy to very bad reviews. So too the devices just like this one, which are in the $75 ... $100 price range. (As of late July 2026). I had high hopes for this unit as it is very inexpensive and new. Maybe a good gamble? I think I might be the first reviewer, so maybe the vendor / manufacturer will pay more attention? - please :) I'd give it 2.5 stars if that were possible. Why? Because it sort of works, sort of doesn't. The issues - which devices of similar style seem to also have trouble with - are: - Doesn't get quite hot enough - Has a weak vacuum pull - must be (very) frequently cleaned That said - it does sort of work. Oddly, it does better on medium sized pins, but not so much on smaller pins. You have to keep the unit on the spot to be cleared for a longer time than you might be comfortable doing - because of the possible heat damage to the thing you're trying to unsolder (assuming you're in 'salvage' mode :). The reason is because the speed of the suction pull is slightly too slow -- it will evacuate most of the solder around a smaller pin --- think basic, 1/4 watt, through-hole resistors for instance. You also must move the tip in circles around the pin to distribute the heat evenly. This is not unusual for this style of device, however. Note that you'll get only one or two holes done before you have to clean the vacuum passage with the supplied long, skinny push rod. Forget anything SMD (surface mount) and anything larger than about 0.1 inch in diameter. It's too slow for the former and too weak for the latter. Two and a half stars because it has its place for small stuff --- as long as the component's pins were not bent to help hold it mechanically in place before being soldered. Unfortunately, that mounting technique is the correct way for through-hole components and is how 90% of the PCBs are made! I tested it on three PCBs. One was scrap and I just wanted to remove most of the components. The other two had parts I wanted to salvage --- and the reason I bought this unit in the first place. It ended up taking too long to clear out the solder. I had some luck removing several small connectors - you know, the kind where a ribbon cable connects to the PCB. That's why I gave the unit 2.5 stars. But I got nowhere trying to remove through hole resistors or capacitors that had pins properly bent as mentioned above. Zero results with any surface mount components --- which as we all know, especially those of us with Old Eyes, are what almost everything electronic is made with these days. (And how the frack do they get things *that* small?) Without enough heat, or enough vacuum pull, or both, you have to make sure the tip is fully flush with the pad of the PCB. Obviously, without enough heat, there's nothing to remove. And if not flush, the vacuum pulls in the air *around* the pin, not the solder itself. (Which is why a powerful vacuum like a JBC has, just suxs up everything. :) The suction mechanism - the pull plunger and waste-solder cylinder on this unit is essentially the same as on a manual, non-heated unit. The ones I called "traditional" above. The manual ones are annoying because you need both hands: iron in one, solder sucker in the other. This unit is both (obviously). But what isn't obvious - and what surprised me - the suction on the unit is much weaker than a traditional one. The plunger size, the diameter of the waste-solder cylinder, and its volume are almost identical to a traditional one. So why so much weaker? I am guessing it's the connection between said cylinder and the heated tip .. it might be leaky. (I will put some silicone around that joint to see if that helps.) If you compare this unit with a traditional one on the same set of components, you too will be surprised at how whimpy it is. I ended up just going back to wick and the old puller. :| The more I think about it while writing this review, the more tempted I am to return it ... I'll try a few more things and see. Sad thing for all of us is there really isn't a gadget like we want - in a reasonable price range that is. I'm tempted to keep it, mod it into a FrankenSucker by hooking it up a much stronger, separate vacuum pump. Problem with that is keeping the hot solder out of the pump itself. Good luck and Caveat Emptor!

I haven’t had this for very long yet, but so far I’ve really been liking it. It’s a huge improvement over using a regular soldering iron and a separate solder sucker. It heats up quickly and works really well. I also appreciated having the extra tips, because I had one spot on the back of the sound board where the metal sticking through was a little too large. I was able to drill a slightly larger hole in one of the extra tips, and it worked perfectly. I’m very pleased with it.

Just tried it today, and it works better than I expected. In fact it works great. I don't do desoldering often enough to justify spending hundreds of dollars for a desoldering tool. This one is very reasonably priced (~10x cheaper than motorized desoldering iron), and for occasional job it's a fantastic tool. Today I've desoldered a chip with 26 pins. With this tool it was an easy job, much much easier than would be without this tool. In most cases it removes ALL solder from a pin on first try! UPDATE 2025-03-07: I've liked it so much, I bought a second one. On the photo are a few chips of many which I've desoldered. It takes some time to warm up, and there is no temperature control, but for the money it's a fantastic tool, and I'm very happy with my purchase. I wasn't sure it's going to work well, but I already have a few tools from this brand (Preciva), and they all work great, so I decided to give it a try, and now I have one more tool from Preciva that works great.

This desoldering iron works well on small circuit boards but does not work well on larger boards, needs more heat. But overall very good

Makes one handed desoldering much easier when you don't have a holder.

If you are a full on repair tech, get a Hakko and don't look back. But for a hobbyist like myself, I was surprised how well this works! As others have stated though, the tips wear out and start to erode after 100 or so uses. You can order tips that fit perfect on Amazon which will prolong it's use. I lube the gasket in the plunger with some grease every time I empty it which keeps the suction strong. I recommend this for the Price! Pros - does everything you expect it to well. Cons - tips wear out and to there is no power switch, just plug and go.
