Abstract
An integrated circuit extraction tool for extracting sockets or microprocessors having a staggered pin grid array (SPGA) pin arrangement. Such tool includes an elongated base having a first end and a second end, each end forming a set of teeth that permit entry and extension of the teeth, diagonally, through the staggered pins of the socket or microprocessor. In the preferred embodiment, the first end is disposed at ninety degree with respect to the elongated base. Further, the elongated base is formed with a curvature to enhance the leverage action necessary for an extraction operation.
