Title: Need to find soldering wick in Singapore
Post by: berserkfan on Wed, 14 May 2014, 02:56:10

UPDATE: THANKS TO PHOENIX1234 FROM VIETNAM, GOOT SOLDERING WICK FOUND AT SIM LIM TOWER.
IT REALLY SUCKED (FAILED TO SUCK), BY THE WAY. I AM INCREDIBLY ANNOYED.


Yeah, title says it all. I just don't believe it. I can't find soldering wick in Singapore at all. I've tried, believe me. I've tried.

Please, somebody, tell me where you get all the really good soldering and desoldering stuff in Singapore. I don't want to order from abroad and wait 3 weeks. It's ridiculous.

The most ridiculous thing? I asked at a major electronics chain, and none of the 'talents' had ever heard of soldering wick before. Everybody there, including supervisors in their 50s, did not know what soldering wick was. Not even after I described it and how it works.

A supervisor even had the nerve to tell me to try buying at Isetan. (Isetan is mainly a clothes retailer, btw.)

If you're looking for Hakko stuff, go down to the basement of Sim Lim Tower. The first shop to your left (could be right, I cant remember exactly) sells them. ;)
