5 Desoldering Techniques

[@hansregli8678]

On-Off switches are many times missing. Also for battery charging devices. My first action after buying is usually to add an AC switch into the line about 10 centimeters from the device. What you are missing is also some tweezers. I use most often the one with about 1 mm wide pincers, and to pick those leftovers pins from the clipping with a needle wide pincer. More are not necessary.

[@DS-oopa]

This is very helpful. I didn't even consider just clipping out a bad part. 😅 thank you!

[@montaelkins2816]

Yeah it's so much easier than doing it the other way

[@humancentered3447]

DUDE!!!! OMG I would have never thought of these techniques and I’ve been trying to get this stupid jack out of my amp for a week. THANK YOU for posting this.

[@EvangelistaBoccadoro]

Going for the cutters technique! I was doing it the wrong way with 8 pins ! Thanks for your tips! You saved me hours of boredom :)

[@SkinnyN0rris]

love that video! you are awesome... I want to desolder something now. Pretty informative. Thank you

[@jorgediez4054]

Great video man! Love your style haha

[@goeasychristopheerson150]

And if you don't like it! Sure this with your enemies.. 😆😂 that one got me good, Completely got me off guard 👌

I have the Hakko FR-301, what an amazing tool. For small solder joints I put a nice amount of solder on the tip and let it do the work. In many cases the chip, resistor, capacitor, etc... falls out of the board. I've been suffering using wick or a manual one-click pump all these years. With repairing Commodore computers, you don't wanna stress the board and since many of the chips are no longer available, you don't wanna damage anything when removing it in case it's still a good one.

Hey this was great! Thanks for the tips!

[@AirborneSurfer]

Desoldering wick, anyone? Maybe a hand pump? Seems to be a lot more reliable (and certainly cheaper) than the gun.

[@ricklonghi909]

I think thats fine to use a aolder iron and wick to start, but tou really need to follow up with a hot air gun. I like the 993a desolder gun because it doesnt burn the board, and puts heat right on the pad. Ill habe to wait to purchase though

[@humancentered3447]

Ya even with the pump and wick I couldn’t clear enough solder to move what I needed.

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Helppppp.. i got solder in a spot it shouldn't be. I basically bridged a few things. I plan on getting desoldering wick tomorrow but do u think it will work? I tried blowing canned air on it but it spread it under the area.. do u think I'll have luck removing it?

[@blaqua]

When desoldering use 2 soldering irons! Absolutely the best way.

[@jpvoodoo5522]

Maybe go check out whatever model Mr. Carlson's Lab uses. He seems to have better luck. In any case, you can't expect one method to work perfectly every time. You got everything off without burning anything.

[@muzikermammoth3995]

What's the wattage on that iron?

[@donatpys6658]

Maybe if you had somewhere to hold your board for you, you could have used both hands tweezers to get the components off and heat them up at the same time

[@MrOnlymoin1]

haha its really funnay that the tool designed to do desolder took the longest time .lol . thaanks for the vid

[@xeostube]

yeah, with bad technique, the best tools don't work very well.

[@maxverstappennonofficial]

Literally my tehnique to desolder components with the smd fan , i use a thin wood stick ( like a sushi stick lol) and after i heat it a bit i just push a bit the joint and get away the solder around it . It really works well , i guess is better than the soldering iron or that gun , but i guess the desolder wick is the best( also the best and kinda the best option for multiple joint and so on like microcontrolers/IC and so on) . But if you wan t to be a little " on budget " and you don y have definetly more than 4 joint , you can use the smd fan without problem .

[@capthowdy126]

solder wick?

[@hansregli8678]

And keep an eye on which wick to buy. There are bad China wicks on the market with much bigger diameter of the strands of the wick. Those suck much worse than high quality ones with fine braid.

[@EarlWallaceNYC]

I used a mini-torch, and the pieces just fell out. Mine was a “BBQbuy Mini Jet Pencil Flame 503 Torch” However, the fumes gave me a headache. Next time… I’ll use ventilation

[@normelmananggolo7481]

Nice! Thank you....

[@kuruptmarine210]

I thought when he grabbed the torch he was gonna take another hit from the bowl

[@maxverstappennonofficial]

When i saw first the "desoldering pump gun" i was really expecting to work . ( today bough my first smd soldering station , and i haved literally "discovered " by myself that desoldering with the smd fan is more efficient , than anything else outside the desoldering wick ) so like i was hoping that gun will not be better than smd fan , but expecting to be . When i saw that it literally sucks i haved literally laughed in tears 😂

[@carlosv2474]

All of these ways you are using are really crude at best, and you didn't utilize the de soldering gun to it's capabilities.

[@montaelkins2816]

What de-soldering methods do you prefer?

[@carlosv2474]

@@montaelkins2816 well I am not like some soldering master I do it as hobby. One of the better ways I've seen that seems better is using a solder wick. You put the copper over joint and heat up with iron and which absorbs it. I use a pump but it's not the best. The de-soldering gun in the video is a good way. I just don't like how he was using it.

[@knuteri3]

How about solder wick?

[@montaelkins2816]

Solder Wick doesn't suck. Which is a bad thing ;)

[@knuteri3]

How do you do it? When I push it down on the solder joint with my iron, it sucks up the solder pretty well. As you mention in your video, adding some fresh solder can help too :)

[@crazor01]

Or a little flux... Also cheap wick really sucks because it doesn't ;) The good stuff made from electrolytic copper/cathode copper is really worth it.

[@davemwangi05]

@@crazor01 hey guys does the wick work on smd?

[@crazor01]

@@davemwangi05 Sure, I use it all the time to clean pads while reworking SMD/BGA stuff

[@goosenp]

I think the desoldering tool would've worked better if you primed the pins of the board with some fresh solder. So adding extra fresh solder to the existing board will make it melt quicker.

[@antresia.9723]

Im subscribing you.ok so i have a a QW-MS305D power supply right the voltage goes to 60 to 0 and the mosfet has shortened out.so i need to desolder the mosfet and put the new one.i have lots of mosfets from different power supply is there a trick where i can desolder without using a desoldering pump.

[@the3d_dude]

Hot Air rework with under PCB heating. Made for BGA parts. Old style, solder pot!

[@nonyourbuz5805]

...hope you didn't wear the pump out before you figured it out....

[@sladewilson8929]

Haha coke and strippers that’s awesome I’m totally stealing that

[@pmsilvei]

Man, you are really entertaining 😁👌 Thanks for the vid!

[@gregercolano8032]

With your solder sucker tool demonstrated @7:11 in your video, check out this guy's technique with that same tool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joK5m6qGqLt5mpo That wiggle he does while the iron is over the pin moves the pin around while the solder is molten, exposing all the solder around it. Without that "wiggle", if the pin is resting against an inner edge of the via at the time it was soldered in, the solder remains hidden from removal where the pin touches the via, just enough to prevent easy removal.

[@simeonmihaylov6123]

SMD fan all the way... the fastest method...

[@huseyin.goktas]

What about solder pot ? Cmon that is the best way to desolder things if you have a lot of to desolder.

[@davemwangi05]

how does it work?

[@gingerminfer3784]

keep being awesome! :)

[@8inary]

here is a good little tip when your removing components from boards, and want an easy way to clear the holes from solder: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2q2l3eEhbV9bNU

[@Rxke]

looks like a hakko fr300 knockoff.... That one has a power switch :)

[@8inary]

Solder wick is great for smd jobs, if you are looking for a solder sucker, I would recommend the ss-02 from Engineer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKPWi2Odo7uKY6c
