Customers are satisfied with the performance of the braid. They mention that it works well at wicking up molten solder from circuit boards for removing it. Some say that it does well enough for their purposes. The braid itself works well, and it works great on small electronics. Some mention that the width of the wick is thin, which makes it great for small components.

"...But I found this really easy to use, and it did its job well! Little bit of heat, and it sucks away all the solder that it can...." Read more

E.A.S.Y. Peasy! Easiest way to remove soldered electronic components!
I have an older Onkyo stereo component that was clicking incessantly and I had narrowed it down to a bad relay. Got the replacement part but didn't have any de-soldering wick to simplify removing the old relay that had 9 solder points. Nobody local carried it, even major electric supply house. So i ordered this and waited another few days for delivery.E. A. S. Y. Peasy! I just put the end of the wick onto the joint being de-soldered, applied the hot iron tip for a few seconds and could see the solder wicking up into the braided wick! Using wire cutter, I cut the used 3/4" or so off every couple joints to get fresh edge/end. After maybe 3 minutes, simply pushed out the old relay. Then using a fresh edge of thenwisk, kinda "hot mopped" each point with the wick and iron to clean each point. Slid the new relay through the board and soldered it down.Whole thing done in about 7 or 8 minutes. And that old Onkyo is back in service!I'm by no means a technician or repair guy but have always been one to DIY things and have a very broad knowledge base on basic repairs of different things. This was my first time de-soldering with wick, and not sure why I didn't get this stuff before! Works great.
