I should get one of these!

De soldering is such an arduous task, that this might make it simpler.

I'll look into it!

call up there and ask them to sell it for their lowest price πŸ™‚ ask for the Cash/Contractor Discount.

Now people will expect you to get more work done faster πŸ˜‰

Tell me how it works on multi-layer boards. The Gao-Jie is amazing on single or double sided but needs more persuasion on multi-layer.

Posted by: mcdermd on 2014-01-18 00:27:39
You run into issue when one of those layers is the ground layer. I've adopted a hold-then-rotate method when dealing with those. That and using a good amount of fresh solder to tin the desoldering gun.

I hate to say "I told you so" but ... nah, I love saying it.

Keep it clean and it will serve you well.

its like going from a hatchet to a chain saw when cutting down a tree πŸ™‚

used the 808 to remove and install a new Resistor network in a se/30. Man this tool makes life so much easier!

Posted by: techknight on 2014-01-20 20:28:05
