Vampire Tools Solder Sucker Compact and Durable Aluminum Body/Heat Resistance Silicone Nozzle+Spare Silicone Tube: VT-001-SS

This is a disappointment in every way. Strongly recommend you avoid this. First, the size of the tool is too small for average hands. This makes it awkward and difficult to use. At times dangerous. Second, the suction is not that great. More than once it splattered solder everywhere. Third, it broke and would no longer push fully in or retract, after about five minutes of usage. Horrible. Avoid.

Imma keep it short and sweet… great quality and functionality… its also very helpful that they included the extra few mms of tubing

Awesome tool! I repair Amplifiers for a living and this is by far the best solder sucker on the market! Dont waste your money on all those cheep unreliable ones. Well built well functioning tool! I will be on the lookout for more tools from Vampire!

Easy to use ,works well

I use this for my keyboard hobby and by far one of the best suction tools out there. Ive owned plenty of suction tools and this one is probably my favorite so far.

Works perfectly

I have had a variety of these plunger/vacuum solder removers over the past 30 years (!). By far, this is the best one I have ever seen. The vacuum chamber is extremely powerful (more on that in a minute), but the soft silicone tip is the key. It allows you to seal the tip around the connection point, right up against the hot soldering iron tip and the component lead and solder pad, and thus thoroughly draw ALL the solder out of the connection. This is the first one Ive ever had that can thoroughly remove all the solder from an IC or other device with lots of pins so that you can actually get it to drop out without destroying it. Now, as to the vacuum power. It has a lot of oomph, but unfortunately, that comes with a price. The spring in the chamber is so strong that there is a whale of a recoil on this thing when you push the button to activate it. You need to have the circuit board well supported from behind or it will go flying away from the tip when you fire it, and then it doesnt work well. You MUST keep the tip firmly in contact with the joint when firing it in order for it to work well. -- The short bit of silicone tube slipped onto the end as the contact tip is easy to replace. The sell accessory packages of the tubing that you can cut yourself to make new tips. You can also use silicone model airplane fuel tubing available in hobby shops that sell model airplane supplies. The tubing tip is extremely durable. It does not melt... at all... even when pressed right up against a hot soldering iron.

This is worth every penny. Great suction. Works awesome. Very good quality. One pump will suck out a large ground hole.

I had one of the plastic versions of these I used to use, with mixed results. This new version works fantastic! The silicone tube lets you get right on top of the work, and draws all the solder right inside. I used this to completely unsolder an 18-pin socket, and it worked very well. Highly recommended.

I got this based on multiple mentions on the YouTube channel, and it seems like a quality tool so far.
