So is that to remove the pins after you have installed them?

I was assuming it was to install them. IDK if you could also remove them with it?

Oh, THAT makes sense! I just pushed mine in with the wires, but that would be awesome. I did tear a couple apart trying to save as much wire as I could and that was a bit of a pain to do. So I wonder if those swing both ways

I can't get em to go in without using some serious force

You did buy the Amass brand right?

 

[Greywolf74]

i did not, but I think it has more to do with the solder that always leaks out of the holes in the sides of the bullet connectors than anything. Unless the amass version doesn't have holes in the sides of the bullets?

Nope. At least mine don't.

Nope. At least mine don't.

I guess i need to order some amass brand EC connectors then cuz the ones I have the bullets have holes in the sides of the cup and solder leaks down the sides and I have to pound em in to place. If I got some without holes that would make a big difference.
