I know this really crazy bloke who works as an undersea diver, has had MRSA and done some of the craziest stunts you would believeā¦ I think some people on this forum now regards me the way I regard him. OK, Iām a nutter, 
Reminds me of when I had the Monomachine, having the Machinedrum UW with its red screen and Monomachine with its blue screen would always make my eyes feel weird after working for a long time on a red screen then immediately jumping to blue and spending a lot of time there then going back to the redā¦etc etc
I never disliked it I to l they look beautiful together and definitely regret selling my MnM itās weird but not really a big deal to me.
I used this on an Apple ][e when I was six. Wow, memories.

They had one at the makerspace I used to be a member of, which I got a load of use out of (put 100 colour change LEDs in something and discovered the current drain was too much and had to desolder them all)
itās still painstaking and annoying even with a vacuum tbhā¦
I think technique is a bigger thing than tools, as I definitely got better with practice, and the braid seemed totally useless the first few times I used it.
1000 Kudos for getting 20 pins out without a sucker and without stripping a pad tho!
Just to clarify, I didnāt remove the pins, I pulled the header off the pins on the board.
ah, ok, less risky! still difficult though.
