ABSTRACT:
A tool for releasing a connector from a fitting coupled together by a retainer element through movement of an integral release member mounted in the connector. The tool includes a pair of pivotally connected jaw levers, each with a bifurcated jaw end. The bifurcated jaws engage the connector and simultaneously slidably urge the release member into the connector to disengage the retainer element from the fitting to enable the decoupling and separation of the fitting and the connector. The jaws are of thin planer construction for insertion between the outer end of the release member and surrounding structure where access space is limited.
