Re: Solder suction cleaning help
Yes, for the handheld solder suckers e.g. Edsyn Soldapullt like pic we used to clean them, and then lube them up with Lubriplate and the suction got much better. It was a weekly routine in the repair shop. That is a light petroleum grease.
The smaller metal tube solder suckers never performed any good, they are crap. If they don't have poor tolerances and sloppy piston seal, they have a wimp spring and it's just a waste of time.
