Wickgun™
Wickgun™ desoldering braid dispensers combine the
capabilities of desoldering braid with the convenience of a hand tool. Simple,
one handed operation dispenses, positions and cuts off braid, even the smaller,
hard to control sizes. The only other tool you need is your soldering
iron.
Wickgun™ braid dispensers fit comfortably
in your hand; rotate the thumb wheel to advance or retract the braid, squeeze
the trigger to cut off the used braid. There are no plungers to push, spring
loaded levers to cock or vacuum chambers to empty. You never touch the braid.
You don't burn your fingers. You stay clean and solderability is enhanced since
the desoldering braid is not contaminated by finger oil or other foreign
matter.
Wickgun™ braid dispensers feature
replaceable/interchangeable cassettes, factory loaded with 15 foot (4.6 meter)
lengths of pure copper braid, impregnated with water clear flux. Cassettes are
available in braid sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4 (widths - 0.035", 0.060", 0.076" and
0.110"). Both the Wickgun™ and its replacement cassettes are manufactured from
static control (AS) (per DOD-HDBK-263) plastic so they may be used in
conjunction with your electrostatic discharge (ESD) control program
(MIL-STD-1686).
