Anyone have an old Hot Fingers they want to get rid of? Time to learn a new skill.
Thanks!

Good luck. Sold mine a few years ago - still find the occasion I wish I hadn't since them seem to be like gold.
You should try hidden hinge repairs with a soldering iron. No, it isn't quite as easy (I've used Hot Fingers many times), but the soldering irons are cheap, and they'll do the job.
I posted an instructable on how to create a hot finger with a soldering iron (file directory), keep in mind the heating process is not as precise as hot fingers but since there would be a learning curve either way you might find it easier to use the soldering iron since you have no experience either way, giving it a shot with a soldering iron isn't going to set you back too much something like $15 to $25.
I've used one of these to pull out hinges and guard arms:

I still use my 38-year-old Vigor SM-800. I just use an older carbon to really heat up the hinge and remove it and then heat up the new one and insert. Did two last week.
