Yep and the sleeving material of course.

I swapped out the pin remover for sleeve, I can macgyver one if necessary. I will try and see if my dad has any of the tools, and my uncle is an electrician so he may allow me to borrow them, or I may just buy some.

It can be done but will require a bit of handy work, I did make one myself by thinning down some spring steel and making an acrylic handle.

Not a problem. Also you might want look at closed Cable Combs as well.

 

I use Lamptron Pin Removal kit. It's a bit more expensive since it cover every pin you can find on the PSU. I mainly got it for Fans & ATX.

Everything I listed is what I use and nothing more (Except for a pin removal tool).

I meat tips for rainbow cutting, so the cable has a nice bend.

It just depends if you want to arc the cable or not. If so you have to cut the one cable longer then the other.

Ok, thanks :D. I was thinking of just getting the crimping tool @W-L linked and using that to start, and upgrading later

Arcs are a bit more difficult to pull off. Just takes a bit more time and patience.

I assume you mean Barrow as in the company. It's a good second tier company specially with watercooling. Specially if Bitspower is to expensive.

ah, I was looking at watercooling parts. My mind just went to Barrow fittings. Well you save some money their, Since they are the most expensive tool for sleeving.

I found these Photos that I never got around to posting. They may help you while sleeving and give you an idea how short the melt should be.

Which is better? @Revan654 ? @W-L?

 

The second one will work and the first looks like it has a set of jaws that will be good for molex crimps. The third however isn't for molex terminals.

Ok, but I thought the draper one is pretty good because of the ones on top, but thanks!
