Is it possible to have special PCB Holder (Beside the magnetic type) mounted on the preheater to hold PCB board firmly? Example http://www.aoyue.com/en/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=331 or http://www.pdr.co.uk/x110.html .

If there is such special upgrade for Tornado user then it is great cos I found hard to remove glued BGA ic as the magnetic type can't stand a lot of side moving force.

You can use the silicon strap to hold the PCB.

I have ordered one of those preheaters(aoyue) to go with my tornado handheld, they are a very good and hold boards well. They are also cheap.
