Yes, Bill it has pointy ends. Charlie Brown kept trying to kick before Lucy would yank it away. I just figured out why I don't have time to rebuild fuel injectors and resolder cruise control amps. I am watching football on Sunday. Crap!
I've had the best luck in using a soldapult to remove mose of the old solder and using new to re-solder. Heck one still worked after the car was rear-ended and totalled!
