Description of CableWholesale D Sub Insertion Extraction Tool
Warranty: Lifetime. D-Sub Pin Insertion and Extraction Tool. Tool to insert or extract D-Sub pins with ease. Easy to use, and comes coded. Red side for insertion and the white side for extraction
They look good, but they're made out of cheap materials. Once enough force was applied to pull the pin out, the collar folded like paper. Offer to buy a real instrument from an aviation supplies store like Steinair.
Some reviews complain about the fragility of the tool. Not if used correctly. Inserting and removing a pin is delicate work, not force. Using the correct side of the tool for the job required, the pins are easy to insert and remove with a gentle pull on the wire.
I bought this after reading the reviews KNOWING it was a bit flimsy. But I only had to remove 2 pins so I figured it should be fine. Well, the first needle came out fine. The tool broke on the second pin. I may not need this tool again, but even if I do, I won't buy this brand.
