Desolder Goot Wick (3mm 1.5M)

Goot Wick: The Gold Standard in Desoldering

Made in Japan | Pure Copper Braid | High-Speed Absorption

When you're working on a rare Game Boy, a classic NES, or a beloved Sega Saturn, there is no room for error. One overheated pad or one lifted trace can turn a simple capacitor swap into a nightmare. That’s why professional modders and retro enthusiasts worldwide trust Goot Wick.

Commonly regarded as the best desoldering braid in the industry, Goot Wick is manufactured in Japan by Taiyo Electric. It is specifically engineered to pull solder away from delicate components faster and cleaner than generic alternatives.

Why Choose Goot Wick for Your Retro Projects?

• High Thermal Response: The ultra-fine copper weave transfers heat instantly, allowing you to remove solder with minimal contact time. This is critical for preventing thermal damage to 30-year-old PCBs.

• RMA-Compatible Flux: Saturated with a special non-chlorine, Rosin Mildly Activated (RMA) flux, it cleans the joint as it works, ensuring the solder flows into the wick and not onto your board.

• Precision Weave: Unlike cheap "ratty" wicks that fray, Goot Wick maintains its structure, allowing for pinpoint accuracy on tight CPU pins and small surface-mount pads.

• Lead-Free Ready: While it works beautifully on vintage leaded solder, its high heat efficiency makes it one of the few braids capable of easily tackling stubborn modern lead-free solder.

Choose Your Size

We stock Goot Wick in two convenient lengths to suit your workbench needs:

• 1.5 Meter Spool: Perfect for the hobbyist or occasional repair. Compact and easy to keep in a travel kit.

• 30 Meter Spool: The professional’s choice. If you’re recapping consoles daily, this bulk roll offers the best value and ensures you never run out mid-job.

Pro Tip: For the best results, use a clean, tinned iron tip and match the width of your wick to the size of the solder joint. This ensures maximum capillary action and the cleanest possible finish.

Don’t risk your rare hardware with generic braid. Use the wick the pros use. Use Goot Wick.
