my hack is a bit cleaner...

Two weller or ungar elements with various sized screw on blocks of copper
that have been shaped for the job of heating both sides at once mounted in
a handle that is adjustable. Workes well for boards being repaird. for
non working board and salvage parts I tourch them off directly or use
some tooled copper to heat specific parts. Years of stripping salvage
for choice transistors and what not gained me good practice.
