Two heads, one tool
The dual pronged ATX head releases both male and female ATX pins from their connectors. Slide the plastic handle to the other side of the tool and the single pronged fan pin head is ready for male and female fan connector pins. The pins and wires come out undamaged and can be used again.
ATX pin removal
Insert the dual pronged end of the tool around the outside of the male or female ATX pin and push gently until you hear a soft click. The pin and wire then slip out of the connector port. If the small metal tabs of the pin bend out of shape while you remove it, bend them back gently with the dual pronged end of the tool or carefully with the tip of a hobby knife blade.
Fan pin removal
Insert the single pronged end of the tool into the pin slot of the male or female fan connector and push gently against the metal tabs that hold the pin in place. The pin and connector then come apart for further use. If the metal tabs of the fan pin are bent after de-pinning, bend them back with the dual pronged ATX end of the tool or carefully with the tip of a hobby knife.
Safety handle
The plastic handle covers the end you are not using, so you hold the tool by the handle and not by a sharp tip. Swap it to the other end when you change from ATX pins to fan pins.
