Wickgun™ Braid Dispensers
The desoldering system that
fits in the palm of your hand.
Help take the work
out of rework.
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 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
dissipative plastic so they may be used
in conjunction with your electrostatic
discharge (ESD) control program.
The simple, one-handed-operation of the XURON Wickgun™ eliminates the tool-
swapping three-hands-required process associated with conventional desoldering
braid use. Your technicians work quickly and precisely with just a Wickgun™
and their soldering iron. Productivity is enhanced. In tests performed by XURON,
technicians worked 3 to 5 times faster than with conventional desoldering braid on
bobbins—a significant increase in productivity; At this rate a Wickgun™ pays for
itself before lunch on its first day of use. And the increased productivity fully offsets
your costs for replacement cassettes, easily contributing $20,000 to $40,000 per
year to your company in increased productivity.
Wickgun™ use can significantly reduce the “user cost” for your desoldering braid.
Due to the inherently clumsy and time consuming nature of conventional braid use,
a 30-50% waste factor is not uncommon. Additionally, braid is commonly discarded
when its temperature becomes too high for the technician’s comfort and safety.
Wickgun™ use can eliminate these “hidden” desoldering braid costs. With all this
in mind, when deciding how many Wickguns you should purchase, ask yourself,
“How much money do I want to save?”

Increase productivity & reduce cost
• Using a WickGun™
braid dispenser is
3-5 times faster than
conventional braid use.
Dispense, position
and cut braid with one
tool (in one hand).
• No wasted braid.
Braid can be retracted
and cut exactly at the
point where solder ends.
No waste associated
with heat transfer
(burned fingers).
• No braid contamination.
Solderability is enhanced
because braid is not
contaminated with finger
oil or other foreign matter.
