ABSTRACT:
A tool adapted to align and interact with a radiator cap to assist in the removal of the cap from a radiator has a pliers type arrangement of levers with uniquely constructed end effectors. One of the end effectors includes a substantially planar alignment plate with a depending skirt extending less than 180.degree. about a peripheral sector of the alignment plate. The alignment plate orients the tool with the top of the radiator cap, and the skirt angularly orients the tool to positively abut a lug on the radiator cap with the skirt sidewall. The other end effector is a relatively narrow gripping jaw which cooperatively interacts with the alignment plate and skirt to compressively engage an interposed radiator cap as the handle on the levers are manually moved toward each other. The levers mechanically multiply both compressive force manually applied to the levers to firmly grasp the cap, and the torque applied to unscrew the cap from the radiator.
