Radio Shack sells an extractor tool, as does OK.
Basically, they're
pretty much the same in operation as the cheap Far East models.
I found this shortly before your post. They stock it about 10 minutes
from my house. Who would have thunk I could'a went
around the corner and
picked one up? I'll try it for the $11.
If you want to go deluxe, then investigate the
Hakko/CHP extractors.
Very different in operation from the usual stuf--and not
"universal"--you buy a tool for each size of PLCC--at about $50 per.
Sounds nice. If I had more of a very occasional use for it, I'd
consider it. There's something great about having the perfect nice high
quality tool for the job.
Yup too rich for the need.
Thanks Chuck and everyone for the replies.
