The "zip tie trick"

Ever had one of those stubborn DIP chips that wouldn't come out?
Try sliding a thin ziptie between the chip and PCB. Now you can grab the ziptie and LIGHTLY pull while heating the chip.

I’ll try that! I’ve never thought about doing that

How do you plan removing solder from the holes, prior to inserting the replacement chip? FGS just spend $3 on the proper tool.

I used a solder sucker pump just a few moments prior to it. FGS? What tool is only 3 dollars?

You'll damage the board over time with excess heat. All professional engineers have and use solder suckers - they're cheap yet effective.
Modern soldering stations often have them integrated too, esp when located in repair or manufacturing facilities. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Go ahead and send us a link to your soldering tutorial videos, I'll make sure to give them a watch, Bob.

[@ChadDoebelin]

are you referring to the solder sucker that's present in the first couple of frames in the video? does that make me a "professional engineer" in your eyes now?
