Worked where solder sucker didn't
This braid works. Could not get solder to flow will enough to use a solder sucker tool plus it would jump from the spring release without picking up any solder. Was risking over heating the board. This desoldering braid allows much better control of the heat and picks up the solder without jumping off the solder point. Was much easier for this use.

If you're a wick user, this is the stuff!
I've been soldering for the better part of five decades, and have used various and sundry methods to desolder parts.Often, a solder sucker is the best way to accomplish this, but, when using a wick, this is the best I have found, by far.It is thirsty. There is enough rosin (flux) to work without adding more. Any residue is easily cleaned. And, 5 feet of this stuff goes a long way! It seems expensive, but this is a case of getting what you pay for.

Won't do everything but it's sometimes the only way...
This stuff works pretty well. I like to cut a 1" piece, hold it in the middle with some needle-nose pliers, and use each end once. I found it's best to lay it over the solder you want gone and press down on it with your soldering iron.What it won't do is suck solder out of holes. Used in combination with a good solder sucker and a resistor lead to pull solder out of holes when the solder sucker doesn't do the job, you can clean up most anything.

Works for this hobbyist
I am not great at desoldering, but I can do a decent job with this.

This Brand Actually works great!
I have bought this in the #3 size version a few times and was very pleased. Then I saw a similar looking different brand and bought because it was a third of the price. It barely wicked the solder away and was frustrating. So I recommend this brand because it works like it should! Don't go cheap!

Desoldering braid
Does the job. Draws solder off of the connections with enough heat, works a little better than some other cheap options.

It's good just not as good as it used to be
It works really well but it's not as good as the old stuff. On old braids I had they could be used till both sides were so wet with solder they'd be totally silver. On this it gets spotty and wet
