ST5278 Replacement Tips

Very well built and handy tool. I wish I would've had one or these so long ago.

These are some of the nicest pin removal tools you’ll find. Makes removing the pins from any harnesses effortless. Best tool purchase yet

there are too many versions of this tool it is confusing. this one has all the tips in a single tool and holds them all inside. the other kits you have multiples of basically the same tool just different ways to attach it. stupid. this one is the real upgraded version.

there are other de-pin tools out there that work just as well, but dont usually look as nice. they are sturdy enough, but can still bend if not careful. having to swap out the tips can be annoying if you're working on a board that has multiple connector types because of the blade-swap issue whereas other kits that have these tools individually can be used on a whim. those also come hardened, but I don't think these are, nor even case hardened, but they are shiny. it's an iffy prospect. I have it in my office so it takes up less space, and my main set migrated to my workshop, so the system works.

Love it!

This is far better than any other pin removal tool I ever bought. Arrived 5 minutes ago and did this in about 3 min. I should have bought their better model with the plunger and it would have taken less time. One of the best tools I have ever bought Great product, highly recommended!!

First, the good: this tool feels GREAT in the hand. The fit and finish of the bits is rock-solid, and every piece is square and true. I expect to get years of use out of this.The bad: I'll likely swear at it every time I have to use it.The bits are crammed into a plastic zip bag. There's another zip bag with two extra sets of mounting hardware, an Allen wrench, and the handle, all stuffed into something like a toothbrush case, with a couple of pieces of foam to keep things from rattling around.The case is annoying to open, and to switch bits, I have to COMPLETELY REMOVE the mounting screw and lock-washer, fish out the bit I want (ouch! sharp!), thread everything back together, and tighten it down. I can see why they included extra screws. I don't think two will be enough.Now, I'll pick up the other bit and put it back in the bag. Oh, wait -- these are machined SO tightly and squarely that I CAN'T GET A FINGERNAIL UNDER THE BIT TO LIFT IT. I have to either push it to the edge of the surface, or find a magnet, I guess.I really wanted to take away more than one star -- but this thing feels SO good and works SO well once it's assembled, I just can't do it. If I could pay an extra ten bucks for a version of this that comes in a case with spaces for each bit, and maybe a way to mount them without entirely removing the screw, I'd jump all over it.Recommended, but kinda grumpily...

This tool makes removal of the wires so much easier.
