in the videos he talked about getting a heat gun. a great alternative is an embossing heat gun which is smaller and can target a more precise area. like this one http://www.amazon.com/Uchida-Embossing-Heat-Tool-Stand/dp/B000QTFH58/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1343312814&sr=8-3&keywords=embossing+heat+gun
just an idea.

Looks exactly like mine, but I have a cheaper model. I bet the cool down feature is awesome, probably would have saved me a nasty burn I got a while back. If I had seen that one I would have got it instead.
Next time my heat gun falls over I will NOT try to catch it. Now repeat 100 times. I will not try to catch it... I will not try to catch it.....
I need to look for or make an adapter for mine to reduce the size of the discharge opening.

Are these a good buy? I can't seem to sleeve my Seasonic x750 without failing hard. I'm having problems getting the sleeve to stay on and also getting the wire back in the connector..I'm a noob frown.gif BTW it's paracord. Is FTW sleeve or MDPC sleeve easier?

It's hard to say if they are good without knowing what sleeving they are using. From the pictures it looks pretty good, especially if it's not too expensive.

As far as yours, what tool are you using? I will admit that the seasonics (and some corsairs) can be tricky, but as long as you are using a real molex tool, and are patient, and using the correct technique (tool in - push wire to engage pins in tool - pull wire out while the tool is still in the pin). The sticky ones, I just use a small pair of needle nose pliers and pivot off the connector. If the pin is mangled, I just crimp on a new one.

As far as paracord, it is just another type of sleeving. MDPC and FTW are completely different in that they are braided plastic that expands greatly when you push the ends of the sleeving together. They are much harder to snag on pins, but require a different technique. Watch Lutro0's vids to see the difference.

I personally use paracord as I am a modder on a budget, and I like the matte finish.
