    Cable Sleeving Help

    Hi guys.
    So I'm about to start my first foray into cable sleeving.
    I can already see myself having issues with removing PCI-E, molex and the 24 pin connectors.
    Any advice on how to get them off or where I can get some cheap tools to do it?

    Thanx in advance!

    I find a pair of staples does the job

    Tip: If you're using a hot air gun on the heatshrink, be aware of just how hot and it gets and how quickly, too.

    Sweet. Will give the staples a try.
    I'm sensing some seriously holy fingers in the future....

    Nah, bend them into the shape of a 7 and your fingers will be (mostly) unharmed.
