Hello !
I have come across a video showing a nice little tool (A special tip for Soldering iron) to desolder LDMOS like BLF 188/189 and similar.
Would appreciate if anyone knows from where it can be sourced, especially in the US as I am here these days.
This can be made locally from a 3mm copper plate if not available ready-made.

Here is the link to the video

There was a link to the tool in the description of the video. Did you not see that?

Hi Scott,

Yes, i have seen the link in the comments but I could not find the tool after scanning numerous pages on the website.
Hence I asked for help.
Did you find it there?

Like Mike says, scroll down a bit. You have to read, there are no photos.

Thank you, Mike and Scott

Cost including airmail to the US comes to Euro 84.99 is equal to $91.71
Way too expensive for a piece of less than 50 gms of copper.

If there is demand, (50 pcs) I can get it made in India with some modification and sell it for less than 35% shipped.
Will be making it for me when I am back in India if I don't get it something similar at a reasonable price here in the US.
recently I made my own case for an amp for approx $75 (laser cut, electroplated, powder-coated, and printed )and that was being sold for $450 in the US. It's on my QRZ page.

A Dremel tool and maybe a couple of files and you could make one in an hour.

I agree.

Thank you
