What will get the pins out? My tools aren't cutting it.

I don't know about the Gerber but I do about the other two. What have you tried and what are you wanting to do?

I originally bought the Rebar for Mod fodder. But now despite it not being the best quality. Its handy size means it is getting more work than the ST300. So I will be removing the plier head from the ST300 and maybe swap a tool or two from the Rebar. Either way I need access to those tools. I have tried the Gerber Grappler and have a miriad of other MT's, but I'm just not getting the grip on. I have one of those mini chef blow torch/crack pipe lighters to melt the lock-tite even.

Okay. I'm a little bit drunk so hopefully this will make some sort of sense.

For the ST3 pliers. This end isn't keyed so open the handles, they will press on the barrel.
You want to turn the screw side which I believe is the slightly thicker one.
If using needle nose pliers go in from the side and for blunt nose or vise grips go end on.
Being left handed, I hold the blunt nosed pliers on my left and the ST3 on my right.
Once I have a good grip on the screwhead I brace my left arm against my side while I rotate the ST3.
Heat as needed. I think I have only once needed to use pliers on both sides.
For the Rebar tools. The barrel is keyed. The screw end is on the file and saw sides.

One thing I do know is that the Crunch works very well on these fasteners.
