I picked up a very similar tool set from Amazon, and used it to swap connectors on an ATX power supply. As he demonstrated in the video, the single-pin tool did the trick. I was able to work it down into each side of the pin, rocking it slightly to flatten the tabs. I then gripped the nylon connector with pliers and pulled out the wire. Be aware: the tradeoff for using a cheap tool instead of spending $35 or more on a better depinning tool, is that you will likely end up with at least one hole in your finger. There are sharp edges on the depinning tools, and on the connectors once you pull them out of the housing. After cleaning up the blood, I did the following: 1) Wrapped electrical tape around the top of the depinning tool (mine was just a bare metal ring with a blade on one end) 2) Wore gloves 3) Gripped the housing with pliers while I pulled on each wire I was able to finish the job with no more bleeding.
