Hey guys,

I am looking for a good molex extractor that isn't that much in price. I have seen the Sunbeam one which is supposed to break very easily and the Lutro's customs one.

 

I am looking for a cheaper one (maybe around $5-7) that is fairly good.

You get what you pay for. Don't cheap out

I use a dentist hook to push in each catch. Then extract. Each catch is on the sides when looking at the seam in the pin. I thought it would be tedious at first. Once you get the first one, you'll have the confidence for the rest.

@pretty much everyone: I know if i cheap out it will come back to bit me but I was hoping there was an alternative that "cheap" but solid.

 

@big_lilo Man, I had two tap open (the casing and mods and the build log) and I posed it in the wrong forum. Is there a way to move it to the right one? If not im just going to close it. Sorry.

Buying a quality tool will pay off, get the Lutro0 one.

+1 for Lutro0 but honestly any molex extractor will more than likely be fine. check frozencpu.com for some

I just spent a lot on hardware and wanted to cheap out on the rest instead of waiting. You guys set me straight :) Anyways how do i close a thread or move it because i am definitely not in the right forum. I ran a forum myself and I know how annoying that is.
