Hi Everyone,

I have a process in our repair center that is removing a 68 pin PLCC through
hole socket with a selective soldering station. Once all of the solder
joints have become molten, a pair of needle nose pliers are used to remove
the socket from the board (pretty high tech, eh?). Does anyone know of a
better tool that could be employed? Does anyone make a tool that could grab
the socket on all four sides simultaneously?

Thank you,
Paul Black
