I recommend trying a few different sucker devices before making a decision. Buy a few different models
and see what works best for you. The advantage of this one is that the tip is made of soft silicone. You
push it on top of the tip of the tip of the iron and it conforms and makes a seal against the pcb. If you can
make due with one of the $3 dollar ones then get it. This is one of the pricier models. Worth it in my
opinion.
Edit: I thought that this was the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's made of quality materials and is
ergonomic, but it doesn't work that well. Soldering and desoldering is a learned skill and takes a fair
amount of practice to get good at it. The flaw with this is in the soft tip. It conforms to the surface to get a
better seal for suction. However, the device is not that powerful, and my real issue is with ejecting the
waste solder. Every other suck or so you need to eject what molten solder was sucked into the device.
About 90 percent of the time it gets stuck inside the soft silicone-like tip. You wind up literally unclogging
the device than desoldering. Now my other device was about 20% of the cost of this item and works
better. It is the LyonsBlue solder sucker and can be purchased for about 5 dollars and it comes highly rated.

The fit and finish on this tool is much better than your average cheap solder sucker. The spring is quite
strong and creates a good "pull". The major drawback is a tendency to clog, as others have mentioned.
However, with some easy measures, the chance of clogging can be reduced to almost zero.
First, cut the silicone tubing fairly short. When the plunger is pushed to all the way to its stopping point,
the cleaning probe should extend right to the end of the tubing. It is not necessary for the tubing to be any
longer than that. This will allow for better ejection of solder that gets stuck right at the tip. After each
operation, mash the tip on your workbench before fully depressing the plunger, this will usually unstick
any solder inside the tube and allow the probe to eject it.
Second, unscrew the end piece and spray some lithium grease into the hole going to the tip. (Other
lubricants may work, this is what I had on hand.) This will create a slick surface inside the channel to keep
solder from being able to stick there and create those really massive clogs. Re-apply every time you clean
the chamber out.

When you hold this you can tell you are holding a quality piece of equipment. It is very easy to use because
of its silicon tip. I de-soldered switches and LED's (I did end up destroying most of the LEDs but I only
wanted the switches) from a full size mechanical keyboard and I did not get one clog. I was using a really
high temperature to melt the lead-free solder and when I was done, I replaced the tip with a bit of the
extra tubing in the package since I had done quite a number on the original nozzle. I have a cheapo solder
sucker from Radio Shack and it works once the right angle is found, but this Engineer is much quicker to
use because of the flexible nozzle. Also, the suction power is more than I have seen in other desoldering
tools

I hesitated at first after reading the negative reviews, but I decided to trust the 'made in Japan' aspect.
After using it quite a few times I get where the critics come from: the molten metal stays stuck in the
silicon tube and just behind. It means that unless there is very little metal to remove, you need to empty it
after each use. However... It really slurps hard. I removed 'carrots' of metal more than 1cm long regularly :)
I'm not sure it's a bad thing: the metal does not get stuck far inside and I seldom have to open it - I just
remove a lump of metal after each use, directly from the mouth. A bit awkward maybe, but much, much
more efficient than the classic pumps I used before. This thing really removed a lot of metal each time, and
it's the most important in my view. I haven't had any issue to clean it - sometimes I squeeze the silicon tube
to crush a bit the solder and make it easier to remove by hand (hard to explain).
So far the silicon tube is still intact, despite de-soldering quite a few things with it (scavenger here). I think I
will not need to use the spare for a long time.

I've used some of the generic crappy solder suckees before and they really don't work.
What I like about this one is the solid construction out of aluminium means it's got a good build and is
airtight at the necessary joints. The really secret with this, though is the silicone tube on the end. You can
press this on to your solder joint at the same time as your iron making a nice seal around the joint and suck
the solder cleanly off. It works well, unlike the cheap generic ones where the plastic tip melts if you touch
it.
So far I've used it to unsolder switches from a mechanical keyboard and and other through-hole
components.
You can simply push the solder back out by pushing it down past the point it clicks into place.
If like myself you've replaced other tools with Engineer brand, you'll already know the built quality to
expect.

I have been using various desoldering devices professionally for around 30 years, never owned my own
desolder station. I have only used one owned by an employer, so for personal stuff I have had to rely on a
solder sucker.
I have been passed large amount of 30+ years old Spectrums and commodores to repair in my spare time,
but my solder sucker has fallen to bits, so I was looking for a replacement, when I came across this one.
I was a bit reluctant due to it high price tag, but at the same time I wanted something a little better than
the norm, as the cheap solder suckers can be very annoying to say the least.
Anyway it arrived this morning, on opening the package I was shocked at how small this thing actually is, I
was thinking no chance that something that small would not be any good on a 30 year old double sided
board.

This is a truly quality tool - it is precisely machined from aluminium and the fit and finish is truly excellent
for example - Threads are precise, and came greased from the box.
The functionality of a solder sucker is simple - but this tool does the job admirably with its silicone tubing
nozzle. The nozzle forms a much better seal around the solder-joint than equivalents with hard plastic
nozzles, and included is a 50mm length of spare tubing (which I reckon would be enough for 5-6
replacement nozzles). I used it for a few hours and there is no visible degradation of the original silicone
nozzle though.
Perhaps a little pricey for a solder-sucker - BUT I believe that I will never need to buy another solder-sucker
again so I feel it is worth the premium of this product.

I've had this solder sucker for a year now and despite the issues it has it's definitely the best I've had - when
it works.
The main issue, day to day, is that it would get clogged often. I put this down to the length of the silicon
tubing on the end as if it's too long the solder cools to a solid state as soon as it hits the inside of the
aluminium nozzle. Taking around a millimetre off the length of the nozzle reduced this issue considerably
for me.
The other issue I had was that the plunger would either be very slow to retract or would be stuck. This was
always down to the plunger seal being dry. Lubricating the plunger seal with something like lithium grease
would free it up well.
You could argue that it shouldn't be necessary to modify something you buy to make it more usable but
with the shortened silicon tip and the lucubrated plunger seal this sucker was great. Until...
