Can someone point me to a universal pin extraction tool? I will need to use it on pins of various sizes.

Thanks!

A couple of companies make those with interchangable bits, or AMP makes them specifcally sized for their pins and sockets. Check with your local electronics shop.

Lisle, Snap-On, Mac, and I believe Excelite all make various extraction tools for molded connectors. It all really depends on your needs. Are you extracting pins from factory wiring connectors (IE: GM weatherpak style plugs), or are you looking at repinning deck harnesses? For actual vehicle style connectors, I'd look at the Lisle or Snap-On ones. For smaller diameter connectors (deck harnesses), You may have to look at Excelite, Wahl, or other electronics specialty too manufacturers.

YMMV
