PhobyaMolex Extractor Kit (Sleeving Tool)

If the tool is bending when you're using it to extract pins then you're doing it wrong. The Molex pin extractor tool, (the round barrel shaped thing), is pretty heavy duty and if you're bending that then WOW, you don't know how to use tools. The other three tools are not used for Molex pins, they are for the smaller Molex Mini Fit pins and these tools need a delicate touch. There are a ton of videos on YouTube on how to use these tools and not one of them involve bending the tool.

Don't get me wrong, These are not high quality tools. Not good enough for factory work or maybe for the professional engineer, but they work for me as a hobbyist. Some have said they are too soft, but I was able to remove the pins from both a Molex 43645 and 43640 connector quite easily.My co-worker has the Molex brand tool like the one labeled ATX in this kit, and I found this one as easy to use as the branded one.I would not try to be too creative in using these. Find the instructions for the connector you are trying to disassemble and follow them you will be just fine.

This "kit" is pretty much useless and you're better of using staples/clips or whatever other method you have been using and avoid this. First, the ATX pin extractor tool has the tips beveled which makes wings on the pin simply just conform to the shape of bevel and still be held against housing making it really hard to pull the pin out. I used staples on countless cables and haven't had wire pull out of pin and leave pin in the housing. Using this "tool" second pin I tried extracting caused wire to pull out and leave pin inside the housing due to increased pressure on the pin and force needed to pull the pin out. This tool actually makes it harder to remove pins as using this requires a lot more force to pull the pin out increasing the likelihood of damage. Lesson learned and money wasted I guess. Stick to what works and avoid crappy tools that seem like they may work. A pair of staples or paper clips works like magic compared to this junk. If you need ATX pin extractor, get an official Molex.

Long needle like ends fold and stap very easily, after one use being gentle the first tool snapped completely apart not too long after a 2nd one bent almost completely back.

Excelente producto. Solo que cuesta trabajo al principio, tienes que acostumbrarte para usar esta herramienta.

Very disappointed. The pins are entirely too soft and are easily broken. Two of the four tools are totally useless to me now. Don't think I can recommend this.

Works as advertised.
