The pins I bought from Molex are on a carrier strip and I don't have their special ($$$:D) crimp tool to remove and crimp the pins properly. I have a cheap one I bought from Jameco years ago and it seems to crimp the pins and they hold the wire and don't pull off and look OK
now on to my question is there an easy way to remove the pins from the carrier strip without damaging them (I have been using a pair of wire cutters but that seems to damage more of them then It gets them off in usable condition

Here is what a single pin looks like undamaged

+10 on the flush snips. Work like a charm and should be in every PC tool kit.
