Using the VEX Pin Tool with VEX IQ – VEX Library

The VEX Pin Tool makes it easy to disassemble pieces in the VEX IQ construction system. The Pin Tool has several features that can be used to make disassembling easy: the Puller, the Pusher, and the Lever.

The Puller can be used by placing the tool over the unwanted pin, squeezing the handles, and pulling out the pin.
