A little flux and this is all you need to de-solder not only SMD packages, but stubborn through hole (and through 24 layers of ground plane) pins. Ok, a little solder wick works too. This ingenious metal lowers the melting point of solder (a lot!). It lets you melt all the solder at the same time on the part you are trying to remove, therefore making it a breeze to de-solder without damaging it and/or the board.

This product worked well for me on several occasions so far removing power connectors on my Gameboy SP that was was modding to USB-C.The ground legs are notoriously difficult to keep solder molten and remove.I was able to use the low-melt which stays molten for quite long I must say to remove the legs and pins all at once!It cleans up easily too with solder wick or suction which is nice.The only Negative that it's a bit expensive for what you get but it does work well, so I'd buy more once I use up this batch.oddly some components I found it difficult to get the low-melt to attach to initially, it helped to use flux though. not sure if anything can be improved upon for it but just wanted to mention it.

After dipping my toes into the Nintendo modding world, I decided to rig up my old GameCube with a battery holder to help with replacement of the internal soldered in CR2023 battery and replace the stock orange LED on the unit. That being said the solder works like butter. I went in low and slow with a little flux on the pins and my iron at 350. The solder melted nearly immediately amalgamation perfectly with the old solder. Two clicks of the solder sucker and there was nothing left to hold in the LED, two more and the internal battery was out. The board also cleaned up super nice with solder wick after. See my photo for the aftermath of the LED install.

Can't believe I even attempted to replace HDMI, charge ports or anything for that matter without this.It takes very little but makes things so much easier to remove.

Usually I will mix leaded solder when I'm replacing components but I decided to try using low melt and what a difference you heat the board for half the amount of time and the low melt solder stays liquid for longer

really great for getting components off the PCB even the unleaded solder which can be a real pain will purchase again

I've been fixing radios for 40 years and when the new surface-mounted components started to immerge it became an issue to remove large IC. I was skeptical at first till I had to remove a 40 pin IC from the radio and I didn't want to brick a customer's radio. I found this alloy that actually works fantastic for large IC removal. For modern day electronics, this is the best it makes it so easy to remove large IC's from a circuit board

Works very well for my home business. I use this to mix in with the manufacturer used solder so I can remove hdmi ports, usb ports, etc.Anything that requires alot of heat to remove or has large surface area this will make things much easier.Example, without this it would take a heat station about 5 minutes or more to melt the solder, with this i can remove an hdmi port in about 8-10 seconds

I've used this product in the past for projects, it works great. Here where my 4 star rating comes into play. I ordered 8' which is a total of 96" according to the shipment there should've have been 15 pieces @ 6.5", but only received 14 pieces. If you have ever used this material you know it doesn't go very far, use it sparingly for the price you're paying. Just when you thought size didn't matter?
