I've been doing this sort of soldering/de-soldering for 30 odd years and thought I knew all the tricks, but I have to admit that many of the methods shown in these videos are better than anything I have been able to come up with. Its easy to trivialise this sort of thing but viewers should be aware of how valuable the information in these videos actually is to anyone in this field. Please appreciate and reward this creator appropriately. Thankyou.
Once again thank you for the valuable information! The method with the two irons and wires was ingenious, I'd never imagine that the transformer would fall off that easily! Cheers from Greece and please keep up the excellent work :) I'd really appreciate a video that goes in-depth about soldering iron tips for different situations. I've recently bought a new soldering station along with a few tips and it was really hard thinking about some all-around tips to have handy for various situations that might arise. I wish I could buy them all, but they're expensive!
I liked the wire method to remove the connector and transformer. Also using two soldering irons to remove the coil is faster and easy. Thank you so much.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated . I'm glad you enjoyed the video , hopefully this one and the others on my channel can help a few people out . Thanks again , take care 👍
Thank you so much for the videos Mr SF! Just a request, can you please show us a guide on how to remove components that are in a weird shape side from straight lines? For example, I'm trying to remove the potentiometers from the PS5 controller and having trouble doing so I'm basically a newbie and I'm doing this as a hobby but you're an inspiration, love your videos!

Hi , thank you so much for your generosity , it really is appreciated. I just hope my channel can help a few people out with their soldering issues , if it can I'm happy . Thank you again , your support means a lot , take care 👍
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated . I've got lots of videos on soldering components like the one you mentioned on my channel . Check them out , should be able to find one on there . Thanks again , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Thanks. Looking at some of your SMD soldering videos, I'm now convinced I'll need to invest in a microscope and flux that doesn't looks like burnt molten caramel 😅
Thanks for your video you really creative and developed my soldering skills, i still have issue to de soldering a big transformer because it absorbs heat too much and prevents solder from melting, i hope you can make a new video about those big components and how to de soldering it
Would the two soldering irons and connected wire work with a through the hole 20 pin IC? I have a few on an old 80's PCB that need to be socketed and the heat and solder sucker is not being too gentle on the board. Really appreciate your videos and editing . I have learnt so much as I need to tackle some SMD components replacements. Cheers .
Tried the wire trick for a header and worked perfectly but tried it on another board and the solder melted but did not come out easily. I'm guessing it was because it was a thick multi layer board like a motherboard. The pins the seam to give trouble are the ground pins and tips for these types of boards?
The hardest ones for me that sometimes work are thru hole and they bend over the other side so they can solder without all the parts falling out. Real big problem with relays, because they melt real so easy, or the pins unsolder from inside the part itself. Do you have any ideas?????? Thank You.
Update - I think I found it from a previous video of yours, SMFL200D Flux Update#2, Hmm, SMFL200D doesn't seem to be made/sold anymore. At least here in US, I can't find any - I'm sure you've been asked this before, but what flux do you use/favour? From your videos, the flux you use doesn't seem to create as much fumes/smoke as other fluxes I've tried.

Love the angle of shot, nice and clear too. Thanks for sharing.

Learn something new. What a nice slick way to solder! You've gain new subscriber.

I feel guilty if I don’t give this a thumb up.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated 👍
Pretty neat. Would you have any advise for hand (or other ways) soldering SOT23-6 type of package? Thank you.

Hi. What Flux are you using exactly? Can you give me a link? Thx!

Would love to see how to replace a double stack laptop dimm socket. It has 4 rows of high density smt pins
Thx!
Hi , thank you for your support of my channel , it really is appreciated 👍
do you save and reuse the wires in the pin rows example?
The hardest ones for me that sometimes work are thru hole and
they bend over the other side so they can solder without all
the parts falling out.
Real big problem with relays, because they melt real so easy, or
the pins unsolder from inside the part itself.
Do you have any ideas??????
Thank You.

What is your favorite solder brand ???
