If it's the same one I have (Lamptron A C Ryan) it's not spring steel so the prongs will bend easily. If the pins are tight in the connector you'll probably swear a lot and the wire might come out of the pin more often than not. I did completely dismantle the connectors on an OCZ PSU with it though.
A lower cost tool that does work with a bit of fine tuning is the Pulse Modding version. The one I have was poorly riveted together so I redid the rivets although it wasn't necessary for it to function. However the prongs were slightly too thick for fitting down the side of pins on some connectors so I filed 0.2mm from each one and redid the bevel on the ends of the prongs and it works as well as the Molex extraction tool now. It is made of decent spring steel.

I was looking at that tool but not one place has it in stock same with the phobya tool kit I only linked that one due to it being the inky one I could find in stock.
Also funds as short as always so even if it breaks after one PSU I'd be happy. Always go for cheap and chearful in my opinion you can't be disappointed by it
