Where can i find ( and what is name) of a plastic tool for removing a socket7 CPU in a non ziff socket? I not want to use a screwdriver
tnks
No idea about name or where to find. I have one with "Kingston" on it (evidently from one of their Evergreen products). Tbh though, I'd just as soon use a knife. Use a plastic knife if you want to be sure you don't damage stuff.
I thought only socket 1 came in non zif then eveything after was zif and had a leaver?
this is the tool for removing non zif socket cpus, maybye those numbers will help you track it down
Let's be realistic, it's hard to find specific Intel tools. Therefore you should settle on the next best thing - chip extractor tool.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

That one is intended to remove PLCC chips from their sockets. This one might make it a bit easier:
1982 to 2001
Must be for socket 7
the Intel tool grips the first row of pins on socket 7, but I am curious is this a custom socket? as far as I know everything socket 3 + is a zif with a leaver
I wish I had used an extractor tool on a recent 8088 pull, I'm guessing it's still functional put I did a number on one row of pins.

Its a socket7 NON ZIF coming from a SBC where the space is very important. I think is not really uncommon, is like a 386DX socket but with a Pentium pin number.
As an alternative, have you tried modding an old expansion slot cover?
You could even Dremel in a few teeth if it would make it better.
Ok, i have undestand that i must build myself a good handmade tool... also because i have found a fantastich SBC 486DX2 with a socketed non zif cpu
