Laser Tools has introduced Button Connector Pliers, equipped with an extended flexible cable and designed to quickly remove the button-type quick-connectors found on fuel lines, power steering pipes and other vehicle systems.
The 650 millimetre extended cable means that a user can access connectors buried deep in the engine bay, obscured by other engine-bay components, that may otherwise be inaccessible to ordinary pliers.
The tool’s specially designed fingers open from 3mm to 32mm and from above, from underneath, or from the side, they grip and press the buttons or tabs on the connector, then pull back and the connector slides straight off. The pliers also feature a locking mechanism to hold the tabs compressed for easy connector removal.
Lasers says the pliers (part number 7407) can be paired with the 37011 Assorted Fuel & Pipe Connector kit from Connect Workshop Consumables for a complete workshop solution for repairing and replacing fuel pipes and connectors. The 37011 kit is a comprehensive assortment of fuel pipe connectors, nylon pipe and twin-eared 'O' clips in a handy organiser.
The pliers and kit are now available from Laser stockists. You see the pliers in action below.
