CHIP OF THE MONTH - October

Do you know what happened to October?

All I've got to show for it is this empty chip socket. Have you ever tried taking chips out of this baby? For straight dual in-line sockets I made myself a pair of really neat extractors by sawing in half one of those stainless steel handles from a bulldog clip. Works a treat. These square sockets are much harder. You need something strong but sharp and then you have to guess the required action, alternate pressure I seem to recall.

Bernard thinks they're easy.

Availability: I bet there's a really neat extraction tool for $10 that you can tell me about.
