For the people using SOIC8 clips to read roms, what clips are you using on the newer roms? I have a Pomona 5250 clip but it is too large and does not work well on the newer roms.
For instance, the Pomona works OK on a 2060-701335-005(SST 25VF010) board but I have a really hard time keeping it clipped on a 2060-800065-002(Winbond 25Q40EW) board. The chip legs are just too short I guess along with the problems of being really close to other components.
I guess what I am asking is, are there any other quality clips that work well on these newer "low profile" rom semiconductors?

Thank You! That may do the trick. Any other suggestions or tricks? I am a one man shop and sometimes do not have enough hands, lol. A clip would be better, but the pogo pin adaptor might have to do.
Erkin from HDD Recovery Services makes some great videos. I have watched many of them.

If pcb hasn't any short circuit on 5V rail, you can read/write rom by using a tool as WD Marvel (you just need to connect the pcb via sata).
https://wdmarvel.com/en/If you need to backup rom from WD usb drive, you can backup the it by using terminal connection, Samsung adapter and WD Marvel.
