I just came across this and thought I'd share. I've struggled to get headers and IC's off boards after soldering them on backwards/upside down. This video shows a cool trick with a piece of copper wire that makes them very easy and quick to get off without expensive tooling. I was thoroughly impressed. Hope someone else finds this useful too.

I thought it might be useful to move the iron back and forth a little for long rows. Wouldn't be perfectly even but would be better than concentrating heat in the center.
