FAST CHIP Removal Alloy for SMD Rework - 8 ft.

Works great. I replace joysticks regularly and I applied some to each pin, heated each pin individually and by the time I melted the last joint, the entire stick box literally fell out because the first joints still didn't harden. Stays liquid for a long time and is very easy to apply with good flux. Just make sure you clean it off the pads after or else you'll have some weak solder joints. Low melt solder is the s&$%!

That's a small amount, but if you just want to replace some joystick analog sticks with TMR sticks, this is very helpful and more than you need. The idea is that (always use good flux) you can melt this with the existing no-lead solder on the joystick's board. This will lower the melting temperature of the connection, helping you remove the old part more successfully and faster.

This works great for those stubborn solder joints that won't respond to loads of 63/37. I prefer using this when I have several pins to desolder.

This makes it relatively easy to de-solder SMD and other components from PCBs. Excellent product!

price is good

After dipping my toes into the Nintendo modding world, I decided to rig up my old GameCube with a battery holder to help with replacement of the internal soldered in CR2023 battery and replace the stock orange LED on the unit. That being said the solder works like butter. I went in low and slow with a little flux on the pins and my iron at 350. The solder melted nearly immediately amalgamation perfectly with the old solder. Two clicks of the solder sucker and there was nothing left to hold in the LED, two more and the internal battery was out. The board also cleaned up super nice with solder wick after. See my photo for the aftermath of the LED install.

Use for smd removal. Works very well but pricey for the quantity you receive. However it goes a long way as you don't need much.

This is exactly what I needed. I was doing some desoldering of controller sticks from a PCB, and was having a really hard times with some of the joints. This combined with a good solder sucker is what finally enabled me to get the job done.

Low melt in name and low melt it does. Quite happy with the solder. I just wish I was better at it lol.

This is a very useful tool for removing surface mounted devices (smd). With some solder paste and application of this low melting point solder on top of the solder to be removed, by continuously running the soldering iron along the solder it becomes molten and can be easily removed and saves a lot of time. I prefer this method to desoldering pumps, hot air reworking stations and desoldering braid.

I've been fixing radios for 40 years and when the new surface-mounted components started to immerge it became an issue to remove large IC. I was skeptical at first till I had to remove a 40 pin IC from the radio and I didn't want to brick a customer's radio. I found this alloy that actually works fantastic for large IC removal. For modern day electronics, this is the best it makes it so easy to remove large IC's from a circuit board

It is an excellent product, works just like other more expensive brands

really great for getting components off the PCB even the unleaded solder which can be a real pain will purchase again
