IMHO, and essential tool if you are serious about
doing any kind of
rework is a good desoldering station. Takes a bit of time, but if done
it right, the chip just lifts out with no damage to it or the board. One
of the best investments to my workbench that I ever made....
I take it the it is a tossup between a scope and good soldering iron
for the first best investment one you get off the kitchen table for
projects. The SBC6120 is good reason to get a better iron for me now.
