Insertion & Extraction Tool, Size 16 Pin/Socket Contact (Pack of 3)

Used to use these on Aircraft connectors. Needed them for a similar connector at work. Came in the next day and worked well. Though like the ones I used in the past, they do have a tendency to crack and break. Fortunately I was able to complete the task before they all cracked.

These do not work the way that they are supposed to and break very easily. The blue side is supposed to be for insertion but 2 of the broke before I could finish one connector. The white side is supposedly for extraction but is 100% useless. Fortunately, the blue side works well for extraction.. I'm buying more just to have the blue side for extraction but I am not happy with this product. They are made very cheaply.

I looked at the pictures when the item showed up on a search and said "no way". Then I read the description and it states to be for #16 pins, so I was going to give it a try. When I finally held it in my hands, my reaction was again: "no way". Maybe they know something I don't, so I gave it a try. It broke promptly without moving the pin even a smidge.
