S-993A 110V 100W Electric Vacuum Desoldering Pump Solder Sucker Gun In CA
Pleasantly surprised
From the reviews I thought this tool would be mediocre, possibly with issues. Not the case at all. First, I’d read some S-993A’s had an ungrounded, undersized cord. Mine is reasonably hefty for 100W (element is 90W, pump around 10W) and is grounded. I tested to see if the ti...Read full review

Pleasantly surprised
From the reviews I thought this tool would be mediocre, possibly with issues. Not the case at all. First, I’d read some S-993A’s had an ungrounded, undersized cord. Mine is reasonably hefty for 100W (element is 90W, pump around 10W) and is grounded. I tested to see if the tip was actually connected to the grounding pin. It is. I set the temperature to the midpoint (380 degrees) and plugged it in. I’m sorry there’s no on/off switch (-1 star) and the LED came on. At first I thought it was just a power indicator but no— it tells you (by going out) that the element is up to the set temperature. I used the stock 1mm tip and went to work. You must make certain the collection cylinder is in all the way or it won’t suck solder at all. After about 2 minutes I had mastered solder melt / trigger action. I tried it on a couple of ICs. They literally fell out! Very pleased. I don’t know yet if this will be durable and dependable enough but so far, so good.

It just works
Does precisely what it's supposed to do. Maybe a little smaller than I expected but still quite readable. I cannot see any way to change the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit (but that's ok!). The display changes reasonably quickly.
(10 Pack) - 6.3 Volt LED Bulb Concave 44/47 Base (BA9S) Pinball - WARM WHITE
Warm, pleasant light
These solid-state lamps are reasonably bright, don’t stick out too far, and draw very little power. I was told they operated on AC or DC. This is just plain wrong; running them on AC or having the minus on the bulb bottom terminal destroys the lamp after a few minutes. Solut...Read full review

This is just plain wrong; running them on AC or having the minus on the bulb bottom terminal destroys the lamp after a few minutes. Solution: use a rectifier if planning to run off AC. Other than this unexpected discovery (that cost me one lamp) I’ve been very pleased with these LEDs and will probably buy more.
