I used staples for my 24-pin and 8-pin. A major PITA. Then, I switched to the tool Eddie showed ... broke one of the prongs within 5 minutes. Then ordered several of the cheap $4 tools - broke one, but then did 6 PCI-E cables without breaking anything. It definitely is a matter of patience and caution when pulling the wire out that you don't bend the prong on the tool.
