HOLY CRAP THESE ARE AWESOME!! I am admittedly a pin-repair noob, but a repair that would have taken me 30 mins to an hour just completed in under 10 mins!!
People, get yourselves some quality tools for crying out loud. De-soldering and soldering has literally become 100x easier with these tools. My old Weller stick iron just wasnt doing the job and I used to get so frustrated sitting there waiting for the thing to melt the solder.
If you find yourself frustrated at all with soldering and de-soldering, MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING QUALITY TOOLS!!
So happy.

Sorry.... Hankko != Real soldering tools.
Try Metcal or PACE.

But; glad you stepped up from Weller.
