Yes…you need a special chip puller to *properly* remove the Agnus chip. And the chip puller that Grapevine sells is NOT THE CORRECT type of puller. A proper PLCC chip puller looks similar to a double wishbone type tool. The one that Grapevine sells (unless they've changed very recently) is a simple tweezer type tool that is really intended for removing DIP chips…not PLCC chips. Most of the larger electronic supply stores sell a proper PLCC chip puller for in the neighborhood of $15.
