This just fell in my lap yesterday.

I was playing with staples, and I filed down the paper clip and I was getting frustrated. This is a realistic and easy solution.

I apologize for using my TYTN 2 phone camera. My camcorder is with my brother in law. My sister gave birth yesterday.

It's wuite easy to understand though. Our frustrations are over friends.

Great! Now, we have another tool to remove those stubborn cables. FYI, it might be easier to clamp the connector down on a vise, which is what I did, while performing the removal.

Thanks for the tip for me! I do do it with the 4 pin molex connector. I use a heavy metal objects on the cable (covered by a rubber sheet) and that helps me to keep the cable taut so when I use the jewelers screwdriver it instantly releases it. Thanks for the feedback!
