Wire harness -terminal removal tool?

Post by SkylinePCG »

New wire harness and a few extra circuits. I don’t want to just cut them.

I’ve seen a few different types of tools for this. Anyone used one they liked? Or hated?

Get a cheap full kit from Amazon or Sears. I had a cheap set, and the tiny hollow barrels on some of them didn't fit great and got deformed easily. I bought an expensive name brand set, and they aren't any better (only the handles are nicer). Just remember that they are dainty little jewelry tools, not "git er' done" tools and they'll last as long as they last.

This one won't work for every connector, but I've had it for a long time and used it for a number of different applications (I'm a computer guy during the day, and have built a lot of custom wiring with this tool):

REDONE hit the nail on the head, though. None of these tools are going to be super heavy duty, it's just a necessity to make them fit where they need to go. Be gentle and they'll work well and last.

I have this set: https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-Tool-a ... B0002JMYKS

Works good for the packard style terminals & weatherpack.
