Subject:multi prong connector removal tool

Buoyed up by the hockey game today, I tried my hand at making a tool
to remove the individual connectors from the multi prong connector
blocks found on the back of '86 up Vanagons. It worked out pretty
well, I have posted pics here:

Its not a tool that will be used often. I used it today to strip the
connectors from some Audi blocks I had, and I will use the recovered
"pig-tails" to add circuits to my van fuse box.

Yes, I could have bought some new connectors (I have some Molex that
seem to fit), but the tool is still handy, and was fun to make.

cheers
