Soldering screwdriver
2 in 1 and if you have a good one it comes with extra bits so you can just pull that one off with your bare fingers and put a new one in.
I wouldn’t recommend it. I do pyrography, and used one that screws in the tip. Thought I’d turned it off > 10 minutes ago, and used my index and thumb to start unscrewing it.
I could first hear it. Like a tiny sizzle, imagine miniature bacon. It feels cold, but then I started understanding what the sound was.
Then I realised I’d just gotten burned. Hard. It’s not big, but I kept my fingers in water for a while to cool. Now I just have tiny scars that looks cool.
I’d rate it at 3/10.
I know you said it as a joke, and I have no idea why I wrote this reply, but here we are. Do with it as you please.
Whoa what are they soldering? Barn walls?
I dunno why it took me this many years to learn this but USE MORE FLUX. Seriously. Use so much flux.
Been there, did that. With a similar iron, I unsoldered am MC68000 CPU (DIL64) from a mainboard. Neither ruining the chip nor the board was an option.
The big tip might be advantageous to desoldering a 64 Pin chip with through hole mounting.
Add lots of soldier wire and a big tip might alow you to apply heat equally so you can pull the chip out.
Still not an easy task, but easier than some tiny microsoldering tip.
I solved it by using cannulas. They are made from stainless steel, and solder won’t touch it. They were thin enough to separate the pin from the through-hole. It still was nerve-wracking. That was my main machine I was working on, a nearly prototype Amiga 1000 that had cost me a fortune.
