I just came across this and thought I’d share. I’ve struggled to get headers and IC’s off boards after soldering them on backwards/upside down. This video shows a cool trick with a piece of copper wire that makes them very easy and quick to get off without expensive tooling. I was thoroughly impress...
Cross posting since I thought people in this community might also appreciate this trick.

tl;dw: use a large gauge copper wire to align next to the pins, add some solder so it contacts all the pins at the same time then heat up with your iron. You can use two soldering irons if double row devices like arduino pro micro 😉
