I had to replace a solder sucker lost during a house move, and happened on this one. It was not very well machined, to the point where the spring made it fall apart, but a bit of work with an impact adhesive saw to that, and now it works just fine. It has a temperature-resistant ptfe nose which ensures that you can get as much solder off the job as you need, and the nose is removable to ease clogging issues.

Purchased as I couldn't find my RS one and didn't want to shell out for a new one in case I found it. Found this to be very poor quality, little suction power and manufactured to rather lose tolerances. Plunger very wobbly in the assembly. It should not be possible to easily engage the plunger with your thumb over the end, likewise it should not retract fully when released with thumb over the inlet, this one does which illustrates the poor quality. Pretty much false economy, yes it's cheap but it's useless. A £20 RS one will last forever and has great suction.

The product is good value for money. You can pay more for ones with a more solid feel to them but this one does the job and is excellent value for money. I noticed the tip is pretty good too, it stands the heat of hot solder without melting. I gave it 4 rather than 5 simply because the professional ones, for use every day, are more robust. Happy to recommend this one for hobby type use.

Aluminium alloy body and plastic, doubt it would stand constant use but it functions. Good suction on releasing spring driven plunger. Nozzle opening a bit large so contact with PCB needs to be firm to catch any solder. Not sure about heat resistance of nozzle in long term.

I recently had an electronic soldering job and needed to remove solder from a joint. There was too much of it to be able to successfully use solder wick. Once the solder was melted, this pump sucked of the whole blob in one easy go.
