Default Re: Solder suckers (AKA desoldering tools).

I'm always surprised that the suckers work as well as they do. I've never used a lubricant in one; is it possible that it will get bits of solder sticking to it which could impair the seal - hard to say, so worth trying.

The braid is wonderful... when it's new. I think someone on here recently suggested that the Servisol braid has a better than average lifespan?
