If you are after an Made in Taiwan, anodized aluminum full metal pump, then stop looking for this SR-SH817A
PENSOL, SORNY ROONG INDUSTRIAL Taiwan, this has idiots as EU distributors, and this product starts from 10.20 EUR in Greece with VAT.
While in the rest Europe, pricing appears as double of triple.
There is also and a second door, about getting this identical product, of Made in Taiwan quality.
This product comes with Anti-static tip by default.
Search for :
King Tony KT-6BD22 ,
and or 6BD22,
and or King Tony Anti-static pump
This version it is priced in Greece at about 6.23 EUR with VAT.
I would not insist making such an recommendation, if these full metal / anodized aluminum pumps, they did not have an almost 15 years of life cycle within a professional repairs lab.
If you wish heavy duty scamming, then go for WELLER SA21A

Two months later ... 8)
I just ordered two of them today, local stock Greece.
KING TONY brand, this has portfolio of general hardware tools.
Therefore their products they can be found at general hardware stores alone, next to painting brushes there is parked and this 6BD22 . ;D
In a few days, I will receive my order.
Then I will take apart my 20 years old similar design, and I will demonstrate of why it failed. ;)
Distinguishing of Taiwanese goods these days, this is a challenge.
KING TONY brand, this has Taiwanese origin, all their tools, hexagon keys and others, all Made in Taiwan.
This specific Taiwanese product design, this last long at my hands for two good reasons.
1) Frequent cleaning and tube lubrication.
This expands the life cycle of O Ring at 10 years at least.
2) I do not use the nozzle alone, I am adding silicon tube attachment. I am collecting silicon tube from damaged coffee machines, and stream hot irons.
This silicon tube attachment, it improves vacuum force, additionally its de-soldering spot this is fully covered, even microscopic portion of solder, this is removed.
I ve never paid so to buy a spare nozzle in my life time. ;)
I am today twice as happy, I got the ultimate quality for a reasonable cost, and I did leave the Chinese copycats starving.
When you need tools, you should visit a tool maker.
When you need toys, you should visit a toy maker.
If you cannot perform this discrimination in your brains cells, you will be always at a loss.

I feel again happiness, or better, a double amount of happiness. :)
The source, it had to restock, as he had only one.
New retail price, this now bumped up by 0.50 Euro Cents.
Either way, here is a pack of photographs, not usable as web marketing material.
Even so, the trained eyes, they can see everything.
