NTE Solder Wick

Solder wick is very useful in the rework process. If you look for nice solder wick. NTE is a good choice. NTE Solder Wick is made from fine copper wire woven together with a no-clean flux formula added to it to increase absorption.

New Features of the Solder Wick

• Removes up to four times more solder than conventional wick, and extracts solder much faster than wicks based on Type-R fluxes.
• Residue left behind is halide free and non-conductive, so it does not have to be cleaned off the board.
• 100% copper wick has fine braid design to promote strong capillary action to pull in excess solder.
• Available with standard or anti-static bobbins.

Goot is another nice solder wick brand. You can check out this link for more.
