The MECHANIC R300 Solder Wick is a precision desoldering tool designed for efficient removal of excess solder from printed circuit boards (PCBs). With a width of 1.5mm and a length of 1.5 meters, it is well-suited for various electronic repair tasks, including surface-mount device (SMD) rework and through-hole component desoldering.
🔧 Key Features
-
High-Quality Copper Construction
Crafted from pure copper strands, ensuring excellent thermal conductivity and rapid heat transfer for effective solder absorption. -
Pre-Fluxed Braid
The braid is pre-treated with flux, enhancing its solder-wicking capabilities and reducing the need for additional flux application. -
Anti-Oxidation Treatment
Specially treated to resist oxidation, prolonging shelf life and maintaining performance over time. -
Flexible and Durable Design
The braid’s flexibility allows it to conform to various components and PCB layouts, while its durability ensures consistent performance during repeated use.

SMD Component Desoldering: Effectively removes solder from fine-pitch SMD components without damaging pads.
-
Through-Hole Component Removal: Assists in clearing solder from through-hole joints, facilitating component extraction.
-
General Electronics Maintenance: Useful for correcting solder bridges, cleaning up excess solder, and preparing surfaces for new soldering.
✅ Usage Instructions
-
Preparation: Ensure the soldering iron tip is clean and properly tinned.
-
Placement: Position the solder wick over the solder to be removed.
-
Heating: Place the heated soldering iron tip on top of the wick, allowing heat to transfer through the braid to the solder joint.
-
Solder Absorption: As the solder melts, it will be drawn up into the braid.
-
Removal: Once the solder has been absorbed, remove both the iron and wick simultaneously.
-
Trimming: Cut off and discard the used portion of the wick; repeat the process as needed with a fresh section.
