How to Use
- Press the plunger down to cock the spring mechanism.
- Heat the solder joint with your electric soldering iron until the solder liquefies.
- Place the nozzle tip directly over the molten solder.
- Press the release button — the spring-loaded piston creates instant suction, drawing the solder into the chamber.
- Repeat as needed, and push the plunger to eject accumulated solder from the chamber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an aluminium desoldering suction pump and how does it work?
A: An aluminium desoldering suction pump (also called a solder sucker) is a manual hand tool used to remove molten solder from a circuit board or joint. You cock the spring-loaded plunger, apply a soldering iron to melt the solder, then press the release button to create a burst of suction that pulls the liquid solder up into the pump's chamber — clearing the joint quickly and cleanly.
Q: What materials is this desoldering pump made from?
A: The pump is constructed from aluminium alloy (body), steel (internal spring mechanism), and ABS plastic (end caps and trigger button), measuring 182 × 20 mm. This combination makes it lightweight yet durable enough for regular workshop use.
Q: Do I need any other tools to use this solder sucker?
A: Yes — you will need a separate electric soldering iron to heat and liquefy the solder before using the suction pump. The desoldering pump itself is a manual tool and does not generate heat.
Q: How do I clean and maintain the desoldering pump?
A: After each session, press the plunger a few times over a waste bin to eject accumulated solder from the chamber. The nozzle tip can be unscrewed for deeper cleaning with a small brush or pipe cleaner. Regular cleaning ensures consistent suction performance.
