I have been using ChipQuick for several years also. I do not do a lot of
surface mount work but when I do for example replace components on the
ctc177 chassis I use it. It really works great and is a must have. I bought
it after a employee of mine tried to remove U 7401 in a 177 tuner and
totally destroyed the traces on the pcb trying to pull the "desoldered" ic
off of the board. I think I paid about fifteen dollars for it but it removed
a lot of devices. There are a few tricks to working with surface mounts but
they aren't as bad as you think if you use the correct tools.

I have been using ChipQuik for several years as it was invented by a friend
of mine named Marv Cohen (former owner of MTS - Marv's TV Service in
Framingham, Massachusetts). Although Marv still works part time to help
another servicer out in Cape Cod, he still attends some of the service
seminars in our area, where I have been known to give demonstrations in
using his product for SMD removal for other servicers who have not tried it.
I have made believers out of them! (and NO, I am not on Marv's sales staff,
just trying to show everyone how easy it is to use - just takes a little
practice to get use to it). Here is a link to the ChipQuik website (make
sure to request a free sample). One of the reasons it is a little expensive
is because it contains Indium but it does last quite a while and is well
worth it. You can remove the old IC without destroying it.
