Alot of you probably have some great tools to remove components from circuit boards.
I was using a Blue Hawk paint scraper, approx 1.5 in, by 5 in. plastic handle, steel blade, along with my heatgun for the last 8 months or so, to slowly take the components off circuit boards, until it broke yesterday.
I've upgraded to the Warner heavy duty floor scraper, 4 in. by 4 in. double-sided steel blade, 12 in. steel handle with a hammer cap. I should be able to blow through boards in no time with this. Now, I can just chisel across the entire thing without using a heatgun, then toss the depopulated ones into a bucket of HCL to remove the solder.
