Key Features

  • Copper Braid – Absorbs solder quickly through capillary action
  • 1.5 m (5 ft) Spool – Generous length for multiple rework sessions
  • SMT Friendly – Essential for surface-mount soldering and desoldering
  • Size 3S – Standard width for general-purpose desoldering

Ideal For

  • Desoldering and rework
  • Cleaning solder bridges on SMT pads
  • Removing excess solder from through-hole joints
  • General soldering cleanup
