I just came across this and thought I’d share. I’ve struggled to get headers and IC’s off boards after soldering them on backwards/upside down. This video shows a cool trick with a piece of copper wire that makes them very easy and quick to get off without expensive tooling. I was thoroughly impressed. Hope someone else finds this useful too.

Cross posting since I thought some people in this community (anyone soldering their own boards) might also appreciate this trick.

    this is great! I have some de-soldering work I need to do on some SATA connectors so cant wait to try this.
