Questions & Answers
By pushing on the socket, it works. After you squeeze the black handle upward, the jaws close and the chrome-plated edges lift the chip from the socket while the black and blue handles slide backwards and forth for support The colored plates on the left side and on the right side, which are attached to the main body, effectively push away the socket.
You should be able to use it as it has a slightly greater thickness than the ICs I use, so it should fit. When it works, it's easy to remove, but gaining a good grip is a bit of a challenge.
Selected User Reviews For Jonard Tools EX-2 DIP/IC Extraction Tool for Mircochips with 24-40 Pin
It is totally unwarranted to criticize. For those of you who are still unsure of what this thing is for As you place this over the wide DIP chip you wish to remove from its socket, and squeeze the black handles while holding it firm against the socket, you will be able to pull the chip out of the socket. The socket is held in place by the chrome-plated tips. Holding the colored arms against the sides of the socket will help prevent them from falling out. *In my search, I have not found anything else that does this In contrast to that, the other devices on Amazons attach to the chip, and then the whole set is pulled out at once. In the past, I have encountered bending pin problems with one side pulling out before the other, but the whole glory of this pin is that it won't do that. The criticisms are as follows There have been other reviews where users say they bent pins with this product. When you are pulling it out like one of the other tools, it might bend if you pull it out together with the rest of the ensemble. It would be wrong to use it that way. It may be that the chip is so tightly seated in its socket that you only have enough strength to squeeze the handle (and there's no leverage to provide leverage) in this case, I've found that the flat screwdriver is the most effective tool for providing the initial loosening. With this tool, you finish it off by sticking it on. The true value of this technique is in the last stage of the extraction, when it ensures that the product will have a vertical profile. As for the thing requiring lots of space to function, most of the time, I don't have to provide it with additional support. The experience I have had has been quite different from this. It has been used to successfully pull EPROMs out of a CPS1-B As shown below). If there is no space at the top, it might look like this There might be a problem between the chips, but I've never seen a board like that. You can pre-order a board online and it arrives in 4 to 5 days Be sure to squeeze the grippers until they reach the distance you desire before lowering them. Others have questions as to how the grounding pin can function when the body to which it is connected It would be obvious to see it was conductive if someone bothered to measure it and used an ohmmeter on it. Holding one probe in the grounding pin and another near the base of the extractor where it would press against the socket, I measured zero resistance. A photo was taken by holding the resistor loosely at 2 ohms. Last but not least, there are the plastics. There's nothing fair about that -- a metal surface is needed to ground it), but is fairly well made, and does the job better than anything else I've used before. My head rolls inward as I admit that it is not perfect. I'd like it more if the grabs were a little more substantial (they are somewhat thin metal, and can bend) and if there was a leveraging system to improve my pulling power. On the whole, I absolutely love this watch. I may wear it out eventually, but on the whole, I cannot speak more highly of it. You should only use it if you know how to do.
It makes removing even the most stubborn chips so easy and effortless! agree in that if you put these in your tool box at the top with other tools they could get damaged so I'd suggest storing them in their original packaging, however I think anyone who works with electronics would definitely benefit from these. This product is fantastic. These reviews hopefully will resolve a few of the negative reviews in regards to this product, as I was quite hesitant to purchase it and use it at first, but after purchasing it and using it I cannot express enough how thankful I am for it.
It happens to me every now and then that I make an impulse purchase without reading the reviews thoroughly. Every now and then there are pictures, which show how something is made in an inaccurate way (for example, plastic painted to look metal). Then, occasionally, these two factors merge and I make an honest error. An example of such a time can be found here. You don't have to throw away everything that's made of plastic. That is not the case with this tool. As far as the whole confusing you into thinking that you are purchasing a robust heirloom tool that can be passed on to the next generation of geeky spawn, this thing is just badly As a general rule, unless you're dealing with a single chip on an IC board that's very flat, this will not You don't want to waste time using it because it will likely break before you have a chance to use it often. I'm also not sure what good it does to have a grounding lug attached to Invest in yourself, save time, and spare yourself all the frustration. There are plenty of other options. You might be able to find an old copy of the original A kit of ICs made by Tandy China. Finding old Radio Shack stuff from back in the day when it was made very well is my secret weapon.
I had to replace my old extractor after losing it in a change of address. The one I had in the late '80s worked well. There was a bit of hard plastic on the main body, but internals were pretty much the same. Both the new one and the old one work just as well. I believe the only possible downside is the thin plastic of the main body. The first thing you want to do is stabilize this thing and make sure it is not thrown around. If you keep it upright, it should last a very long time. It appears most of the negative reviews for this tool came from people who assumed the tool was made of metal and ended up being angry when they found out it was If your PCB is delicate, you don't want a big, heavy chunk of metal to slap on it and pop the As long as the main body of the device is made of plastic, it isn't wrong, and it actually offers some My expectation is that, in the next 10 to 20 years, I will determine whether or not the plastic can withstand heavy use and time. I will update this review if it breaks in that time frame. The price I consider this extractor worth is without a doubt justified until I can get a replacement part.
Despite its 50-year age, my Z80 board can still handle all these chips with no effort on my part. This grounding cable is kept in tension by the spring in the lug that is connected to the metal grab bars, which I think is fine. I wish it were made of cast aluminum and I'll buy it if I can. In my opinion, this is a good deal at.
Is made of plastic but has the appearance of metal. Getting the chip squeeze under your finger can work, but you need to pull up and line up under it. This device is grounding and I tested it just now. Plastic must be coated with some kind of conducting film. The results of my EX-test have been released It seems there are other models out there? My gut feeling is that it's cheap, but then again I have no idea about it.
It does what it is supposed to do perfectly. Using this, I was able to remove an IC easily without bending or breaking a pin (especially great for old ICs over 40 years old that you really don't want to risk breaking! I was a little misled by the exterior of the housing, which appeared to be chrome/metal but was actually plastic. While it still works fine, I feel if it's going to be plastic, it shouldn't be painted or made to seem like an expensive material.
