Lesson for today: Don't clean just the tip, you have to take care of the shaft as well.

Can't beat it! My electric desolder died, useless!

I was just thinking "if he presses the button now, it will go flying" - I was not disappointed

It would have been more amusing if it has been in a busy lab 😂

Re-stressing the button spring worked for me. My de-soldering pump is old. Thanks!

have missed your show

Thanks for this. My sucker got jammed on first use with solder clogging the nozzle - fortunately I was able to use the tip of the iron to melt and clear away the blockage. I've bought some desoldering braid now!

Gotta love that braid! Useful stuff

good job, thanks for sharing

The moment the spring flung i saw my life flash before my eyes because my dad doesn't like me touching his stuff and i broke his pump Good thing I found it

I'm trying to get my sucker piston to seal better. Doing the test on the hand it really doesn't slow much, it's leaking somewhere.

"Sol Dear" - that's how we in the Netherlands say it.

I heard that rumour, kinky 😂

Lmao, the issue was never with the holding mechanism, it was always with all that impacted solder stuck to the plunger keeping you from fully depressing it down to be able to lock. That's why when you removed all that solder it started working again before you pulled it fully apart.

A drop of 3-in-1 on the felt washer?

That's a great idea. I think the silicone would also have similar effect, but you can't beat the old 3 in 1!

Question: i opened it up not because it was dirty but because it wouldnt lock. I opened it up and there wasnt any kind of plastic or metal bar thats supposed to lock it. Any idea how to fix this?

the rod of my soldering sucker is cut in half, gonna buy a new one

I guess saying "Wise up sucka" to it won't fix it?

What worries me is that I can't seem to locate the containers of them I have just incase, they manage to lose themselves on mass!
