JRready DAP-D173 Mini-Fit Jr Extraction Tool(Equivalent to Molex 11-03-0044) Molex Pin Extractor Terminal Release Tool for Mini-Fit Jr.TM Series Terminals Built-in Plunger ATX Pin Removal Tool

Only tool you should use for minifit jr pins. I use this everyday at work and I love it. JRready makes great stuff.

Works as advertised, good value for the money and seems well built and durable. Works for removing mini fit-jr for PC psu's just make sure you push it in correctly and it works fine.

Faced with a couple of new spendy workstation builds + fed up with 'staple' removal method as seen on YT videos, I wanted to make 100% custom PSU cables this time and ditch with the 'one length fits all' stock cables. And as builder's know, a few stock molex minfit-jr's need to be re-purposed for such a task which can be a PITA!So after trying other low budget throw-away and frankly, cheesy tools, I broke down and suffered additional build delays ordering the JRready DAP-D173 tool and receiving it not knowing how it worked. Looked good but a little pricey having reflected on the funds I already spent on frustrating 'tools' I had already spent what they were asking for the JRready DAP-D173. Oh well. But it paid off and now here to report it worked fine with a few practice runs aided, in my case, by a lighted 3X magnifying desk lamp.I quickly (like 20 minutes) learned to do multiple pin removals (not one at a time) and pull them all away from the housing with one pull! No problem.The spring loaded ejection pin is the key advantage for this tool. Learn to insert tool to proper depth and with co-ordination using the the muscular portion of the palm of your hand below the pinkey finger-- push the plunger towards the housing which pushes the tool pin to eject the connector pin and you'll have it made.

Works well

This tool makes removing the pins from molex mint fit jr connectors a "snap"! Super easy. Forget the original Molex tool. Get this instead! Kiss me later.

It easily allowed me to repin modular PC power supply cables (Mini-Fit Jr. pins) - just press and plunge! Cheaper than buying new cables, too. I'm 100% super pleased.

Works when other solutions are unsatisfactory. You do have to push kinda hard which surprised me.

On mini-fit jr, it failed to extract pins. Did extract sockets. Did 8. Prongs bent. Very difficult to insert. Just failed to perform as advertised. Returned. !edit 10/5/24! JRready customer service contacted me and used my feedback to redesign the tool, sent me a video, and a new tool. I can planely see they have made the prongs thinner. The revised tool functioned very well on extracting both pins and sockets on Mini-fit jr. The tool's spring loaded ejection pin is a vast improvement over the older simple prongs and the thinner prongs fit inside the housing properly. I am pleased with the tool now and impressed with company service. I would recommend JRready and advise to reach out to them with any issues. !2nd edit! Increased 1star to 4stars. Added FIXED to title. Note: I didn't increase to 5 stars as issue shouldn't have occurred at all. But nobody is perfect.
