Well........even the product says that it will never break......lies. I just finished building the Marigold Fuzz (absolutely LOVE it!) and was testing out some diodes.....as in lightly pushing in the pins and gently removing them, I mean, they are made out of glass.
Well, I noticed a pin wasn't going in and that's when I noticed the socket had broke. The pin is wedged in the pcb and it's not coming out. I tried using my soldering iron but no luck. Also tried heating from the other end and tried pushing it through with a pin, it's literally 100% stuck. How do I get this little bastard out of here?!?!? Do I drill it out?
