A hand tool is described for removing integrated circuit components or the like from printed circuit boards. The tool has a plierlike action for bringing a pair of heated jaws each provided with a flat electric resistance heater against the component leads for melting the solder attaching the component to the board. An adjustable stop prevents the heated jaws from contact and damaging the board. A pair of pincer jaws are mounted on one of the heated jaws so as to be movable in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the heated jaws. Cams on the pincer jaws are actuated by the other heated jaw to close the pincer jaw in response to closure of the heated jaws. The pincer jaws have a turned end for gripping beneath a component for lifting the component after the solder is melted.
