Hi!

I've used JBC products for PC mainboard repair, a lot cheaper than
others. Used it for QFPs and PLCCs. It costs US$ 2,390 with all
accessories for the JT7000
(http://www.howardelectronics.com/jbc/jt7000.html) . I've evaluated
other brands, they don't come close with ease of use. A medium sized QFP
can be removed in 20 secs! Quick removal translates to less PCB/chip
damage.

Removing the SMT part is the easy part, profitabilty is another.

Regards.
