Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Can I use this tool to remove epoxy/black glue around CPUs?
  Yes, the thinner pointed blades are specifically designed to slice through hard black glue and underfill found on modern smartphones.
• Will these blades bend or snap under pressure?
  They are designed to be flexible (spring steel) to conform to the board's surface. They will bend slightly to avoid damaging pads, but excessive force will deform them permanently.
• Are these blades compatible with the QianLi or Mechanic handles?
  This is a complete set with a dedicated handle. The blades are generally proprietary to the handle provided and may not fit other brands perfectly.
• What is the thickness of the blade tip?
  The tips are ultra-thin, typically under 0.1mm, allowing them to slide between the BGA balls and the PCB surface.
• Can I use this without a Hot Air Gun?
  No. Cold prying will almost certainly rip the solder pads off the motherboard. Heat is required to soften the solder and adhesive.
• Is this tool magnetic?
  The handle is usually aluminum (non-magnetic), but the steel blades may have slight magnetic properties. Be careful around magnetized screws.
• Does the set include a blade for cleaning residual solder?
  Yes, the broad flat blade is excellent for scraping off soft residual solder and glue from the pads after the chip is removed.
• How do I prevent scratching the motherboard mask?
  Keep the blade as flat as possible against the board. Do not dig the tip downwards. Practice on a dead board first to get the angle right.
• Can this remove glass ICs without cracking them?
  Yes, but extreme care and uniform heating are required. The thin profile helps reduce stress on the glass die.
• Is this suitable for large BGA chips like PC Southbridges?
  While possible, the blades are optimized for smaller mobile/laptop ICs. For very large chips, a larger heavy-duty scraper might be needed initially.
• Do I need to sharpen the blades?
  No, the blades are pre-polished. Sharpening them manually can ruin the smooth coating that prevents solder from sticking.
• What is the difference between the curved and flat blades?
  Curved blades are for working around corners and tight spots; flat blades are for deep insertion under the center of the chip.
• Can this be used for "delidding" CPUs?
  Yes, the stronger flat blade can be used to slice the adhesive between the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) and the substrate.
• Does flux help when using this tool?
  Absolutely. Flux lubricates the blade path and helps distribute heat, making the glue removal smoother.
