Check out these neat tools

jw0752

Just a heads up as I have ordered a set of these tools and they actually work. For years I have fought with removing pins and sockets from molex connectors. This nice set of pin picks is just what the technician ordered.

    Hi Mark,

    I'm not going to tell you that they are high quality but the steel that is used in the prongs is hard and acts like spring steel. I was able to remove a male and female pin from a molex connector in less than a minute. The barrel tools do seem to be aluminum and may not be as sturdy. The fact is the need for this is very occasional but when it is needed it can be very frustrating to get the clips out of the plastic. For $3 and free shipping I just didn't feel that there was much to loose.
