hey does anyone know where to get a cheap but effective molex pin remover?

or

can anyone tell me how to make one? I was thinking that i could use a pen without the ink part, I tried it and it seems to work pretty good most of the time...

I bought mine at Radio Shack.

I use a large safety pin. Takes a few extra seconds to remove the pins from the molex, but it works plus it's free. :)

I used a paperclip and a remover from radioshack. A lot of the time the paperclip is easier to use. Once I get back home maybe I should start a "holy molex remover thread" so we can pass mine around.

I use the Radio Shack one with a thumb button (deluxe model?) but it was $7.99 and well worth it. I have never spent more than a second popping one out, and for the price it is a steal.

I ended up buying the raido shack one as well. However, I really wish I could find one that would do the 20-pin molex. That thing is a mess.

You can find them around the web easy enough, but they cost $20+, way to much IMO.
