    So I'm looking a decent pin pusher for when I need to take apart my figs.

    Now the ones I obviously see the most are ones for watches/bracelets, but to me they don't seem to have enough depth for some of the figures I think. This the most common one I see.

    Any advice if this one works for those who take apart their figs?

    Thanks!

    What you need is a pin punch, not a pin pusher, such as the set below. You can find them at any hard ware store, and they shouldn't cost too much

    This is what I got. It's just over $5 and ships free if you have prime.

    A lightweight hammer and a punch work great for me. I worked on my G1 Skywarp with just that and there is no visible sign of it ever having been done.
