New Vacuum De-solder Gun Desoldering Pump/Soldering Solder Sucker Removal Tool
May 07, 2016
Cheap but big and clunky.
Pros: I've used this for a while and it have a alright job at "sucking up" the solder. It works greater with good flux. E.g. Liquid amber to increase the flow of the metal. And it's cheap! (5 stars)
Cons: If you got a bit more money to spend, I'd definitely recommend a smaller aluminum/metal one, because the plastic gasket/seal aren't the strongest. The yellow tip on the handle needs to be "glued" on because it keeps "popping" off when the feather isn't pressed all the way in. (-1 star)
I got this used.
About 25% cheaper than a new SSD.
On a SATA II, the speed on this is about 175/175MB read/write. Compared to 500/500MB new on SATA III. Compared to a used SanDisk Extreme on 250/250MB read/write on SATA II also (-2 star).
Compared to the used SanDisk Extreme SSD's(Same price) that has 200 K4 rating, this one only has 20 K4. So I recommend the SanDisk used over this one. (I purchased and benchmarked each one)
I assume that the quality is due to a short life on old SSD's, so lesson learned for my part.

Good SSD for the money
I got this used.
Recently got this Sandisk Extreme SSD and a Kingston SSD.
Which was both cheap (55$) compared to a newer models (70$).. About 25% cheaper
But the read/write on both was around 350/350MB read/write. Compared to 500/500MB read/write 30% slower (-1star)
Still a lot faster than HDD's that are 75-150MB read/write!
Also faster than 200MB read/write hybrid HDD/SSD's...
So still better loading times than buying a HDD.
