About this product
A terminal removal tool set for the plugs that show up all over cars, bikes and appliance wiring: AMP, Metri-Pack and Molex connectors. When a contact will not slide out of the housing, the usual mistake is to pull harder or cut the wire, which leaves you with a loom that has to be re-crimped. This tool reaches past the retention tab and releases the terminal so the plug can be re-pinned instead of replaced. The kit includes replacement tips, so a bent or worn tip does not end the job. Retention clips differ between connector families, so check your plug series and the terminal size before ordering, and confirm that your housing is one of the types covered. The tips are a wear item, so keep spares on hand if you re-pin harnesses often.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Releases AMP, Metri-Pack and Molex terminals so an existing plug can be re-pinned instead of replaced
- Ships with replacement tips, so a bent or blunt tip does not end the job
- Saves cutting the wire, which keeps the factory loom and crimp intact
Cons
- Retention clips differ between connector families, so some plugs still need a model-specific tool; check your plug series first
- The tips are a wear item and will need replacing with frequent use
- Pushing too hard can bend the terminal locking tab, and that contact then has to be re-crimped on a new terminal
