Desoldering Wick 10 ft Size 2

This Chemtronics desoldering wick comes on a 10 ft bobbin in Size 2 with a copper finish and rosin flux. It is designed for technicians and hobbyists who need to remove solder from printed circuit boards during repair or rework tasks. The rosin flux helps the braid wet quickly so excess solder is drawn away cleanly.

Practical limits of braided copper wick

The braid width is fixed at Size 2, so it suits typical through-hole joints and small surface-mount pads but cannot cover large ground planes in a single pass. Rosin flux leaves a residue that must be cleaned if the assembly requires a contaminant-free surface. The 10 ft length is consumed faster on heavy desoldering jobs, requiring more frequent roll changes.

Questions about this item

Should I pick Size 2 or a different width for my soldering iron tip?

Size 2 is a mid-width wick suited to typical through-hole joints and standard iron tips; match the wick width to the pad or lead spacing you are reworking.

What does the 10 ft length mean for day-to-day bench use?

The 10 ft bobbin supplies enough braid for many desoldering sessions, letting you cut fresh sections as flux depletes without frequent roll changes.
