^^ Did that.. still is a crappy tool lol. I'm not trying to just bash sunbeamtech but these tools really are ****ty, no doubt, even while pushing the wire into the plug it's hard to get it to release.

The ATX plugs are difficult. If the wire isn't pushed in all the way for the entire time the tool is being used then it won't come loose. Unless the tool is cardboard I find it hard to believe that it is that difficult to use. Inexperience gets the best of us.

I used the following tools for my sleeving

ATX pin remover
Molex pin remover

The molex connectors are pretty easy to remove; but the ATX pins can be very difficult, for those I find it helps to first push the pin all the way into the housing then push in the pin extractor to seat it firmly then wiggle the cable a bit while tugging on it till it comes out. Note: on some power supplies the ATX pins are a lot tighter and tougher to remove than on others.

Wiggling it from side to side seems to help get it down in there a bit better.
