Selected User Reviews For D-Sub Pin Insertion and Extraction Tool
The D-brand used to include one of these There aren't as many sub kits as they used to be. (Do not let anyone else borrow the handle, because they will invariably break.
It is extremely fragile (not the fault of the vendor The design) is what makes it special. In the course of this year, I have replaced more than ten times. In actuality, the ones made of plastic are more durable than the ones made of copper.
The item isn't extremely sturdy, but it accomplishes the purpose for which it was intended. Its thickness/strength, if any thicker or stronger, would not allow it to fit around the wires or in the pin holes, so I am not sure if there is any better tool for the job. Twenty wires with thick insulation were removed (the insulation was so thick that aligning the tool halves to go in the pin hole sometimes required needle nose pliers. DB-based data source) With only one of these, I have a connector for my Megasquirt ECU. Although the metal hasn't broken, I wouldn't anticipate this tool to last another 20 removals because I can tell the metal is beginning to corrode. You may want to upgrade to the 5 pack that comes with it for a bit more money, if you plan to use this product a lot. Misalignment, even at the tiniest level, can put the tool in a position that can easily lead to bent tools. The tool works, though, when it is used properly.
I would have liked instructions, but they weren't included with the product. Returned it since it would not have been worth the time.
This tool is great for trying to get into tight spaces and using a needle to remove tiny items.
If enough force was applied to remove the pin, the collar folded into an almost paper-like state. Buying a real tool from an aviation supply store like Steinair is a good idea.
The same as what you would find at any electronic.
It is true, some reviews claim that the tool is fragile. However, with proper use, there is no problem. Putting in and taking out pins is a finesse task, not a forceful operation.
