            You can buy it on there, but just like buying amtech flux on aliexpress it'll be counterfeit stuff of varying quality. The legit chemtronics stuff is made in the USA. My source for that is the last spool I bought from digikey a couple months ago for work had the COO on the invoice as United States. Curious though now how the aliexpress stuff compares to the stuff I got from digikey.

              I'll be the first to admit that I never really used solder wick unless I had to. Some years ago, I bought a desolder station (almost 300usd), and it has been great.

              Lately, there are some very cheap soldering iron/desolder pump combos that seem to work ok. They had something similar to this at my former work and they seemed to like it.
