I tend to make mistakes so the ICs will be socketed and I bought two kits just in case parts go flying and land who know's where. The included sockets are, of course, the cheapest thing there is. I have some old double-wipes around here somewhere. They don't seem to work loose. It's more likely that the legs will break off when you try to pull one.
