I use this one as well, works best when adding a bit of flux! The problem with these though, is the heating element is attached directly to the tip, so you can’t actually replace them. Personally I like the extra wiggle room, allows me to move the pin around slightly, making sure all the solder around it is flowing and thus more easily sucked up :)
Thanks for the shoutout, John

@@Wwolf655 The $20 one is 40 watts; but some people reported only receiving the $10 30 watt version instead anyway.
Very awesome! Been on the lookout for something like this! Do you have any recommendations for an inexpensive but quality soldering iron? The one I have currently is cheap and pretty crappy.
I've gotten so use to using solder pumps and solder braid for Smd. I have a Radioshack desolder pump I still use for IC components and I keep the tips in good shape plus they sell replacment tips for that model on wish if your tip gets to gummed up and there really cheap so you can pick up a few for a couple bucks.
I used one of these to install a HiDef NES. Works really well.
This thing is awesome, I've been really into keyboards lately, you can make do with $30 total, I'll always link to this every time someone says that they need $200 to do basic soldering work. Thanks for the video!
Looks like the same one I've got. Used it to fix a 360 controller recently. Worked fine.
Very nice. Dig it. I like messing around with amp, guitars and cars and that would be perfect for me. I need something like that for here and there.
Thank you so much for sharing.
That's awesome! I'd like to start getting into making custom Gameboy carts and tools like this will be a big help!
I have the same pump John. Do you know how to open it to clean the solder out? The back of the package is ambiguous at best.
Thanks for this review. Looks like I'll switch to this when my red bulb thingy dies.
I'm surprised. I wasn't expecting it to be any good. That would be perfect for someone just starting out.
i have this one.. fixed 2 controllers, replaced whole left joysticks, worked awesome, however just went to use it again for the ps4 left sticks and wont work worth crap, its not snapping up and sucking the solder off like it did, its clean, works until you get it onto the board.
spend money, there are well worth it..
Good and cheap? My kind of thing :)
It is I got one and its awesome, just sucks cause you have to pump everytime (no pun intended) lol but it works great. I would add more solder to the joint just to get a clear through hole only if its a small point.
I was literally shopping for one of these last night after discovering your channel.
ive had one of these in the past. my only knock on it is that the tip deteriorates kinda quickly. but they are also pretty cheap.
Should you tin the tip before using it?
@@ryandaves1451 absolutely. I always tin before, during, and after a job. The metal they made it with is just low quality and not durable
That electrolytic cap is probably why it’s dead.
i'm no expert but you could be right. its a cheap fast easy thing to swap out and try
Are all the Genesis boards the same and where did you find that one?
Hi John you should try the S-993A Desoldering gun is basically a replica of the Hakko FR-300, I've used the S-993A for a while and it's still working like a charm.
I use that gun as well. Works well for me so far.
Have you ever found out what tips you can use? I can only seem to find the same replacement tip that it came with. Definitley want one with a smaller hole if I can find one!
That’s funny, I purchase the exact same de-soldering devices (that and the cheap blue one that did also not work for you :-D). I love mine too so far!
Hello John, greetings from Brazil, just passing by to say that watching your videos inspired me doind my own Genesis repros. Just this morning i finished my Landstalker with a PCB that saves the game. I made my own PCBs. This desoldering pump would helped me a lot today. xD
That’s a Velleman “desoldering tool”, or it’s from the same supplier. I’d know, I have the same one here :)
It’s alright, not perfect, but it’s quicker than soldering iron and separate pump.
pretty sweet i might get that motherboard holder thingy!!
What's this? Two intros in one video? What more could you ask for!
It's like the inception of Open Cart Surgeries!
Love a good open cart surgery. John you do great videos keep it up 👍
thanks buddy!
Huh. Saw a video today, where one of those powered ones was used, but at 100+ €, a bit too much for my casual needs. Went to ebay, these popped up. Was wondering if they were useful. Very fortuitous video, good info. Also, have you thought about soldering a socket into a new cartridge board like that? Just for quick test, like here, to see if the rom itself is OK?
What if pcb have two layer like in mainboard ?
I mean when you must unsolder capacitor on mainboard
good video, btw what the watt of these tools ?
Question what did you use to clean off that Solder?
Can you do a tutorial about how to solder wire onto pads? I tried to do a DS Macro mod recently and failed terribly.
Looks like it works well enough. Im impressed!
thanks riggs i needed one too, grabbed one!
Do you know how I can't find new tips? The smaller tip it comes with is still slightly bigger than the lands I'm working with.

I got one of these about 5 months ago. It’s fine for a while but after a few weeks it’s started to become less effective until it pretty much stopped being at all useful.
Maybe better spending the €30-40 on a 858D solder rework hot air gun.
maybe it needs some maintenance? scrubbing or something?
HOLY BUTTS! I literally have a problem with this exact game! Cleaned the hell out of it and still can not get it to show anything
. Gonna try the same things. Thank you Riggles
I got one of these now and it worked great.
Open cart surgery!!!!!!! Yesssssssss
Hi Riggs. First off all, congratulations about the video. Man, where did you get it black board for genesis cartridge? []
I had a friend make them for me, but similar boards are available at muramasaentertainment.com
So happy to see OCS making a triumphant return!!
I have one of those and so far it been a good tool. Cheap and good.
It wasn’t that you needed more stuff for that last desoldering tool, it was that it wasn’t the right one for a US customer. They make 110v versions too. 220/240v is not just China, it’s most of UK/EU, AUS, etc. If you adapted it to your dryer plug it probably would have worked great but you’re still dealing with 50hz product versus 60hz AC power.
Thanks for the video.
Very seldom would I use one of these. Except for a repair of a power connector or jack on a piece of equipment.
If it would last long enough to do one set of stepper motors on a 2006 Mustang , it would be worth it. LOL
A trick to get lead free solder to come lose is add some 60/40 solder to the part you're desoldering.
I’m having a lot of trouble with my FF2 cart. Won’t even retain a save while on. So I am going to try to swap the rom chip with a donor. Hopefully this will help
this would be great for cb radios and ham also desoldering tv parts.
Finally I got my fix!
Good video, I just bought 0ne, works great.
You should use flux first on these old solder joints. It will make everything cleaner and easier for the pump to heat up
you can also add new solder to it as well instead, as sometimes I've seen flux to cause connections to bridge if too much is used
Hi..can it used for ps4 controller..i need to replace new stick for my ds4..
thing doubled in price ....damn inflation
Lol Riggs you blew the surprise with the intro twice bud lol
can we use this to desolder crt tv flyback transformer
how do you clean out the sucked solder from the pump?
How do you know which pad to solder for the rom size? Maybe try switching it?
almost all Genesis games are lower in size. These have one option for 4k games, and all the rest of them are the other option. So if I'm using a M27C332, it's the other one.
hi, how to disamble to remove tin?
Should you tin the tip before using it?
When the second into started I thought I accidentally clicked another of your videos lolol
5:38 You mean to tell me it could have been in focus the whole time!?!?! AAAAAGH! ;-)
I have the same. It stopped heating up in 3 months. mine was 12euro. I hope for you i was just unlucky.
I have one of those it's not great but better than anything else at the price but could use some more power
Ya smaller tip would be useful
Is it possible to and easy to change the element for a higher wattage one?
I wonder if these things are really for 240V, but just have a plug for 120V, therefore, working at 1/2 the wattage. hmmmmmmm
Sold! Great video. I love your videos dude!
Great & a new subscriber from the UK.
I almost sent you a copy of Donkey Kong Country because it wasn't working. I had it all cleaned out and it was just a black screen. Turns out, my SNES was the culprit. It would play every other game I owned, just not DKC for some reason.
Skip on a desoldering gun, get a rework station, its not that much more, and it is worth the investment. a decent one will give you a heat gun, soldering iron, and a desoldering iron, and possibly a power supply all in one, very handy!!!
Thanks for this vid
You seemed to get a wave of euphoria using that lol.
hey Riggs, just curious could the game not be working due to not transfering over the cap that was on the original board.... I seen a place for the cap on the new board... Just curious
With these Genesis boards, no caps are needed. There is a spot, but it'll work without'em.
I bought one of these, and the suction...well it sucks. Sure it heats up, but it wasn't worth the price I paid for it.
havent seen a pedestrian this dangerous since paterno
Finally 5 minutes in and we get to the meat of the video.
I use the same one
I got this its ok at start but soon becomes useless
Why didnt you check the capacitor for failure and the resistor on the old board?…Then I bet the new board requires these components..
You could have said Velleman and sold me right away.
I love this channel. 👍🏿
Riggs review
Badasss I'm buying one
The test starts at 5:00
Riggs-Ception
Did you say Wenatchee?
Yep he did.
5:08 to see it used. You're welcome.
are you related to 8-Bit Guy youtuber?
You do really looks like him.
Just don't give it to alec Baldwin
Ofcourse when I look it up it's $16 plus tax and S&H. pfft
I'm surprised he got that many views. Horrible devise but it can be modified...
I see your not using flux hmm
Justin Hampton not really needed but yeah
To your point, quickly drag some new solder down to mix in with that old solder makes a big difference.
And it's $20 now..grrr
This is the unit I have. Decent price and works great! a.co/2fNc63x
haha,old man problem
nobody shows how to clear this things....without breaking the plastics while trying to open it.!
I'd don't care much for Amazon, so I'll have to check eBay for one of these to keep on hand for little bit of soldering work I do.
Saw few today from 5€ upward.
I checked eBay US, and they are just under $10 USD, but thanks anyways even if I can't use British pounds being in the US lol!
this is fake
