D SUB Connector Pins Removal Tool JRready DRK-D SUB Pins insertion Extraction Tool for TE/AMP/Harting Heavy Duty 5A Han D SUB Connector Crimp Contacts Extract

A sturdy tool that does a good job inserting and removing small pins.

Expensive for what it is. But works great.

When you buy these tools, you go into the deal knowing that they are a consumable on any given job; if you use one long enough, it break.I recently had a project where we had to repin 385 cables. 2 pins each. I bought 3 of these figuring that if I could get 100 cables out of each one, I would be in good shape. My partner had also purchased 3 so we had 6 between us. At the end of the day, we broke 1.I was very impressed.For the nerds in the room, AMP standard DB-25 on one end and Motorola "J2" on the other end - worked for both pins (Motorola 3980034F0* are different pins than AMP LIMITE) - the tool works well on both.

I've used the red/white ones for years and it's always a pain for extraction. But this was fairly easy and unlike the thin metal of the red/white one this doesn't feel like it gonna get bent up like the ones I've used before.Nicely made and feels like it will last for years.

I tried using one of the red/white extract tools and after struggling for perhaps an hour, I wasn't able to remove a single pin. This tool looked like it might work better, so I decided to give it a try. Removing the pins was easy. I inserted the tool, heard a click, rotated 90 degrees (per the instructions) and then pulled both the wire and tool. This worked every time to remove both male and female pins.
