Desoldering Wick

A desoldering wick is made from braided copper threads and is designed for faster and cleaner removal of solder. When used with a heated soldering iron, it efficiently absorbs excess solder from joints.

Flux is often applied to aid the flow of solder from unwanted areas onto the wick. Also known as a desolder braid, this tool is an essential part of the soldering and desoldering process, making precise work much easier.
