This is good advice! Their sales number is: (800) 831-4242. I think I
saw a similar device in Radio Shack the last time I was there as well.
I don't know what the price was but probably comparable.

This is NOT good advice! :)
It is my opinion that folks can only be "careful" about 1% of the time and
end up with broken sockets the other 99% of the time. At $3.95 for a cheap
chip changer (say that three times fast!) that's the best insurance policy
that one can have. It is certainly a lot cheaper (in both time and money)
than desoldering a PLCC socket and replacing it- that is assuming it isn't
a surface mount socket! Spend the $3.95, you'll be glad you did.
