Generally, correct. I’ll
read about ExpressVPN here and tinker with a few tomorrow evening when I have some time to see if there’s any gotchas. But basically, remove the plastic carefully to the point you can wiggle the pins loose.
Slip jaws are a must for any tech or scrapper.
Depending on alignment and useology you can either apply an extreme amount of proportional pressure; allowing for safe small scale work with no damage concern. Or, you can nip an end tight anc bend and snap stuff.
Robogrip is slightly different from any other slip jaw pliers. The slight difference in slide angle makes them extremely powerful nabers. They’re great for smashing. Used with some Finesse you can gently crush the hard plastic of connectors like ATA, PS2, USB, even external ones like dvi and VGA. Then gently remove the pins from the smashed mess.
Just keep in mind I’ve literally ripped the head off a frozen half inch bolt with robogrips by accident; which is why I added standard slip jaws to my tools. Your torque increases by 200-800% depending on the size of the head.
Are robogrips from those 3 countries really that much worse? I had no idea about that.
