MENKEY Terminal Removal Tool Kit for Car, 39 Pieces Wire Connector Pin Release Key Extractor Tools Set for Most Connector Terminal

I have had and used these for 4 years and 2 months now. They are cheap and a wide variety of connectors. I have used them for weatherpak, metripack, deutch, and as of last night I did my first Bosch locking connector. I am now looking at buying higher quality ones now but, for 10$ I have saved companies a lot of money and have made myself plenty or money in quality professional repairs. Could they be stronger? yes. Could they be less prone to bending? Yes. I worked on tractor trailers and now for a utility fleet. Was nice and cheap to get me started on learning about rebuilding connectors.

Very handy easy to use

The metal is pretty flimsy and will likely bend easily and if bent will probably break even more easily. But there are many keys that will do most jobs so many could get broken and a person still would be able to complete tasks this set was made for. A lot of keys in this kit. Yes, it is unlikely anyone will find an application that one of these keys doesn't work on. There were so many keys though that more then half of them would do the job I needed and I was totally unsure which one to select and use. I got the job done so I got my money's worth in that first use.

Can beat the price. They are prefect for when you need that one pin tool every now and then. If you need the same one everyday than get a nice set. I just need it a couple times a year and this fits all different types

Not a very good quality a break after a few uses I only needed one size and I got the job done pretty much a disposable tool

So many different removal tools but in reality, only a few are widely used. Many common connectors will use a simple straight or slightly tapered spear to release the catch hook on the terminal pin. I needed to remove the pins from a basic JST type SM connector. Worked perfect. Should have taken a video but even with a clamp to hold the connector it takes two hands as you need to push the terminal pin forward so that the tip of the removal tool will be able to push the latch up and free. Then the terminal pin will slide out easily. Back in the day, we used to take box staples and slowly grind them down to do this but they wouldn't hold up very long. Absolutely worth the 10 bucks.

Nice set but if your not an experianced electrical connector guy it most likly will be some guess work prying on stuff till something works. Breaking stuff to figure out how it works is not the way to go. A simple chart included to show different applications would be a big plus. Also Amazon didn't update me that it was out for delivery a day earlier than the stated ship date. Leaving the package left un-attended for several hours. Luckily everything was there after finding it ripped open and scattered all over my front porch.

There's a reason these are less than $10!! The metal is very thin and will bend. They are very tiny as well and I can't see them lasting a lifetime. I have an old set of depinning tools which sadly don't work for VW/Audi. I was using a bobby pin which actually worked pretty well but not the greatest leverage for stubborn connectors. This kit does not work for VW/Audi connectors; well you may be able to use two together, but the strength you'll need to make them work will bend the metal. I ended up returning these and spending $$ on the real deal tools (but have my bobby pin on standby).
