conversion to Canadian dollars put me off.

Well to get to my point.  A few weeks ago I got some advice from fellow =
Elecrafters on the GC Solder Popper.  I picked up one of these babies =

I have nothing but rave reviews on =
this item.  It worked like a charm.  No problems removing parts at all.  =
I didn't even cut any parts in half to get them out one lead at a time.  =
 And not one lifted pad or wrecked traces.  Talk about a confidence =
boost.

BTW I'd like to thank the fellows personally for the great advice about =
the solder popper, but I've inadvertantly deleted their emails, so I'll =
do it here.  Thanks guys!!!!

I'd also like to thank the Elecrafters who unselfishly share their =
technical expertise in regards to mods and other issues.  You sure have =
increased my knowledge base and made it fun to have a K2.
