After 8 years of using a hot air station at my bench I finally tried canned air and a soldering iron for a resistor swap

Cleaned off the pads with a bulb syringe and a damp toothpick instead of blasting everything with hot air and it took half the time on a busted 2017 MacBook logic board last night - anyone else find the simpler method works better for tight spots?

Funny how the simplest fix usually beats the fancy tools.

@eva_hayes reminds me of my neighbor who fixed his noisy car with a rubber band.
