Designed for efficient, one-handed operation, it features a spring-loaded high vacuum suction system that removes solder cleanly and quickly. Its self-cleaning shaft ensures uninterrupted workflow, while included spare silicone tubes offer versatility. Trusted by pros, it’s the ultimate tool to elevate your soldering precision and speed. ## Description This desoldering pump is at the cutting edge of solder removal technology. The flexible heat resistant silicone tip allows the the nozzle to come into direct contact with the soldering iron without damage and allows the nozzle to 'envelope' the solder joint. This dramatically improves suction and therefore less solder residue remains after each press/action. Easily disassembled for quick maintenance. The ENGINEER SS-03 comes with two spare silicone tubes of differing widths which can be cut down to yield several fresh nozzles (ENGINEER SS-16 & ENGINEER SS-17 replacement silicone tubes which fit the SS-03 are also available to buy separately on desertcart) Review: The cost is well worth it for the quality of life and craftsmanship boost. - The SS-02 is peak-engineering and design realized. It saves time, effort, & yields better results than the cheaper alternatives. I really only regret not buying this sooner. Desoldering ~65 switches with a cheap-o solder-sucker resulted in 3 or 4 instances of binding and needing to stop, open, & clean the tube. it took forever. Whereas, when using the SS-02 for an even larger amount of switches to desolder: i was able to work uninterrupted by tool maintenance and cleaning. The work became enjoyable! My attached photo is the end result of non-stop desoldering with no interruptions needed for cleaning or unbinding - though i did so afterwards to protect it from neglect. The only area for improvement i can think of is with the silicon tip - which i place directly on the ~350°C soldering tip when desoldering (a debated practice, from what i've researched): after doing this a few dozen times the silicon tip does show wear and functional degradation; though this is easily remedied by rotating the tip 180° &or flipping the silicon to it's unused side. You can do this 4 times per sectioned tip, so it'll still be a long time before i need to shop for silicon tubing. But I think this tool is an example of what peak-engineering and craftsmanship looks like and it would be easy to take it for granted had i not suffered through the less costly alternatives. An easy add to my short list of favorite tools for electrical work. Review: Well made - This will definitely do the job. Comes with extra silicone tubing. Great suction and feels extremely solid. Did not realize it was made by Engineer out of Japan which makes it even better. The front tip unscrews so if you have to open it to clean it out, you can. Has plenty of suction. Glad I purchased it. ## Features - MADE IN JAPAN: High quality aluminum construction.

Glad I purchased it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don’t try to save money on imitations - simply the best! *by S***R on February 5, 2025* I’ve gotten “suckered” more than once by trying to save money on solder suckers. I tried one that had its own heated tip - garbage. I tried another that looked and felt just like the Engineer - it barely worked when it did work, which wasn’t for long. After just a few lackluster uses, it refused to stay in the “cocked” position. And yes, I cleaned it out per the manufacturer’s instructions. I’d have to press the plunger 10-12 times, hoping it would stay down and be ready to suck up some solder. It “sucked” alright, but not in the way it was intended. I switched to solder wick for a while, thinking it might be a better method. It’s ok in certain situations, but I realized what I really needed was a solder sucker that actually worked. So I decided to do some research beyond Amazon reviews and what I found, in testimonial after testimonial going back over a decade, was that the Engineer “SS-02” was the gold standard. After face-palming myself, I headed back to Amazon to search for one. Unfortunately, it was out of stock, but they were offering this “improved” “SS-03” model. I honestly couldn’t find any information on the SS-03, even on Engineer’s website. But I took a flyer on it and I’m THRILLED that I did. If it’s possible for part of your soldering arsenal to be “life changing,” this was it! I have a lot of electric guitars that I’m always upgrading or building. So I do a lot of soldering/desoldering. Some places that can get tricky without a good desoldering solution is with potentiometers. For one thing, if you have wires grounded to the back of the pot and you want to desolder them - the longer you hold the soldering iron tip to the back of a pot, the greater the chances that you’ll ruin it. That’s because it’s a lot more delicate inside than one would think. The “resistive element” inside a potentiometer is often just a thin layer of carbon based INK. With a hot soldering tip being held to the back of the pot, it doesn’t take long for the whole pot to heat up and destroy that carbon “ink.” I found this out the hard way while trying to remove solder with a wick. With the ENGINEER SS-03, I was blown away by how much solder it cleared from the very first actuation, and when I pushed the plunger down to reset it and eject the solder, I was astounded to see it push out a 1.5cm long, cylindrical piece of waste solder! And it does it every time. This also makes it ideal for soldering potentiometer lugs. If you’re not careful (or your desoldering tool of choice sucks (or, in the case of an inferior solder sucker, I guess that technically would be “doesn’t suck”), you can be left watching in horror as the melted solder it didn’t catch slides down that lug and enters the potentiometer where (you guessed it) it could easily land and re-harden right on that carbon paint! My excitement was only tempered by my regret of not having gotten an Engineer sooner. So this comes down to learning from my mistakes. You may see thousands of 5-star reviews for a product that looks identical and is half the price and take a flyer on it, but this is a classic example of spending good money after bad. Save yourself the hassle. This is one instance when “you get what you pay for” doesn’t even begin to tell the story. You’re welcome. ## Frequently Bought Together - ENGINEER Engineer Solder Suction Device SS-03 - Lesnow solder wick braid 10ft Length Desoldering Wick Braid Remover Tool Solder Sucker 1 piece No-Clean soldering Wick Wire Roll and Disassemble Electrical Components - Thermaltronics TMT-TC-2 Tip Tinner (20g) in 0.8oz Container --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/662322872-engineer-ss-03-solder-sucker-device-made-in-japan-professional](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/662322872-engineer-ss-03-solder-sucker-device-made-in-japan-professional) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
