The Lisle 37160 Disconnect Pliers are purpose-built for professional technicians, providing an efficient solution for releasing quick-connect fuel and EVAP fittings. This specialized tool minimizes the risk of damage to delicate plastic tabs, especially when working in restricted access areas. Featuring an 85° offset head, these pliers enable superior access around fuel tanks, along frame rails, and within crowded engine compartments where standard tools often fail to reach, ultimately enhancing shop efficiency.
Key Features
- Purpose-Built Jaw Profile: Engineered to depress locking tabs on quick-connect fuel and EVAP fittings, including Delphi two-tab connectors, commonly found on many late-model domestic and import vehicles.
- 85° Low-Profile Offset: The angled head provides crucial access in tight areas, such as between the fuel tank and vehicle body, near charcoal canisters, and along underbody lines.
- Spring-Loaded Action: Spring-assisted handles facilitate repetitive disconnects, improving control during overhead or under-vehicle operations.
- Durable Shop-Grade Construction: Built with a robust steel plier body and comfortable, oil-resistant vinyl-coated handles, ensuring extended service life in demanding shop environments.
- Reduced Connector Damage: Offers a controlled, non-marring grip, helping to prevent broken fittings and tabs and eliminating unnecessary replacement parts.
Applications
These disconnect pliers are commonly utilized for fuel line disconnections, EVAP system service, and line replacement across late-model GM, Ford, Chrysler, and various import vehicles that use quick-connect fittings. They are particularly effective when servicing fuel tanks, EVAP canisters, and underbody lines where hand clearance is significantly limited. The Lisle 37160 disconnect pliers are also versatile enough for releasing select plastic electrical connectors located in challenging areas near transmissions, frame rails, and rear chassis components.
