What do I need to sleeve all my PSU cables without braking any pins?
I only have a small glasses screwdriver which I use for the smaller fan connectors and the easier to remove 12v 4pin cables, but my Antec Neo power's cables are harder to remove. The holes are smaller so i cant fit my screwdriver on the sides, and its hard to see what i have to bend in order to get them out, I also dont want to risk braking anything on the pins.

Im thinking on getting a collection of tools for easy sleeving since Ill be sleeving nearly every cable in my case.

Since I already have a small screwdriver that works as a fan pin remover, what should I get to remove all the other type of pins?

The pins on the Antec Neo power are more compact and smaller than the 4 pin plugs on my lights and pump, so do i need diferent sizes of pin removers?

do universal pin removers really work on both female and male pins?

Anyone know were I can get a lot of these tools cheap and if there are any good tool kits?

Also, whats the diference between the female and male pins?
Is the female the "pluged" and the male the "plug"? (lol, just guessing :slap: )

FrozenCPU.com looks cheaper for the same thing.
Should I just get 2 of those aluminium pin removers? One male and the other female?

Most local electronics stores sell Molex pin removal tools; I would get the male and female removal tools, you never know when they will come in handy.

The universal pin remover might work ok on both male and female if they have two different sizes, I bought the female 0.093” and male Molex pin removal tools, they are two slightly different sizes.

This tool kit removes all the male and female connectors; it’s a little expensive.

The females are the ones on the PSU, and the males are the ones on the HDD’s, CDROM’s, Video cards, MB, fan controllers, etc.

Do a google search for the tools, I am sure you will find many places.

Here are a few links:
