If you can't afford a desolder gun, at least get the proper tip for your iron.

Quoted from john17a:

Vid can you tell me what that is called and its use thanks

IC Removal Tip

It heats up all the legs of an IC at the same time so it can be quickly extracted intact.

OP
Quoted from Budwin:

Have not seen one of those for a couple of decades.

I've still got one from Radioshack that came with the iron and tip for $9.99

Ion makes a "double iron" . It's funny looking.

Weller sells the tips if you have a Weller station. There is a Weller guy at all the swap meets that has a bunch of different sizes for $11.99 each - more than I paid for the iron and tip back in the day, lol.
