Default Re: Servicing PCBs compared with wired chassis

Yeah, bent leads are a pain.

I quite like proper plated-through holes on double-sided or multilayer boards. You can work on them from either side.

Sometimes wick works better than a sucker, sometimes the other way round. The best suckers I found were the EDSYN Soldapullt.
