Yeah, I use the tools Lutro0 recommended. It can just never get them back in the connector. Getting them out is easy.Originally Posted by Badwrench 
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.

BTW it's paracord. Is FTW sleeve or MDPC sleeve easier?
