Wick Vs Wick - Desolder Braid Comparison

Wondering if there really is any difference between solder wicks. I decided to do a comparison of a few. Turns out there are differences and enough for me to have a favorite.

One i really dislike is Radio Shack braid.

[@k4qdex]

which one of them stays together the most? in other words, which one is strongest/thickest and doesnt come apart? all the cheap ones i bought from china spread out when you apply pressure which is annoying and doesnt get the job done

[@metalplasticelectronics354]

That one is easy; it's the chemtronics. It's made as a woven tube, so it's near impossible to get it to spread apart. I felt it was actually too stiff.
