- Rechargeable ESD Vacuum Pickup Tool for IC Component Placement and SMD Chip Rework, with 3 Suction Cups, 6 Interchangeable Nozzles, Aluminum Body, USB-C Port, and Up to 10 Hours of Battery Life

Works well for picking small flat parts

Used this for a production process for 2 8 hour shifts. Works well but had a several times that the motor or pump seemed to has got stuck. Had to to a light tap on a hard surface on the butt of the pen and it would start to work again. After doing this several times i about to return it but the problem seemed to have gone away. We will be buying 2 more so we can expand our use for our assembly line.

The ESD Vacuum Pickup Tool does not work well on 0805 and smaller parts. It is unable to seal to the part and takes much time trying to pick up parts. I wish I could find a tool that works well.

Just as described. easy to hold and use. A source of replacement rubber tips would be nice since I'm sure to misplace some.

Most all the vacuum tools for SMD parts on amazon are for ICs. I purchased this one because it clearly lists 0805 parts as being easily picked up. I populate a PCB with screened solder with 0805 components. I have been using a tweezer - pickup is easy but placing is difficult because my hand jiggles (old age). I purchased this one to use instead of tweezers. The resistors (0805) are placed individually on the table next to the pcb. I tried all three sizes of angled pick up attachments - the only one that would eventually pick one up had the largest opening (18ga). There is a nice suction coming from the unit - I have no doubt that it would nicely with ICs - but I needed resistors. With the button on the unit pressed (vacuum motor starts) place the tip on the part and try to pick it up - nothing. I figured I was not holding the opening parallel to the resistors face thereby allowing a space for the tool to bypass the part, After 20 or 30 attempts - it would eventually pick the part up. I noticed that it would NOT pickup if applied to the base/middle of the part but would only pickup is placed on ot near the solder pads on the resister. ended reverting back to my tweezers because I could place 20 part verses 1 with this tool. I am returning the tool as I disagree with the published capabilities.

I bought this on a whim, but it has become the goto tool for picking up and placing the nano-sized SMD 1/8 watt resistors. It is vastly better than the various tweezers that I have been using. It holds well and releases instantly.

Works nice. Wish there was a release/blow off button, but overall very nice.

This is an absolute must have if you work with small electronic components. Works much better than those cheaper alternatives which require you to manually pump them. If you can, get one of these instead.

Von Zeit zu Zeit bestand der Bedarf, Platinen aus SMD-Bauteilen zu bestücken. Unter den auf dem Markt erhältlichen Fertiglösungen lagen die Kosten für Vakuumpinzetten bei Hunderten von Euro. Daher fiel die Wahl auf dieses Produkt. Ich habe schon ein wenig damit gearbeitet und keine Probleme festgestellt.

Used it a few times to place WSOIC-16 and 144 pin TQFP IC's and it does the job well enough. For small parts I use tweezers. One slight drawback is when you turn the pump off to release the part, you have to hold steady and wait a second or two for the vacuum to fade until the part is released. Not ideal, but can be adapted to.

Needed this to pick up flies. Works great!

SMD Bauteile bleiben kleben, da beim Abschalten der Vakuumpumpe die Bauteile nicht freigegeben werden. Man muss ca. 5-10 Sekunden warten, bis das Vakuum abgebaut ist. Getestet mit einem QFP 64 IC Gehöuse (10x10mm) und 402 Widerstände. Artikel geht zurück.

The vacuum pen works as it should and seems well made. The motor is fairly quiet. I like that it's rechargeable and wireless. I deducted a star because you have to hold a button down to make it run. You have to keep pressure on the button the entire time you use it. For my purposes (diamond painting) it was tiring my hand, and making it ache, as I have arthritis.
