Review on 🔧 Efficient Spring Lock Coupling Tools for Air Conditioner Systems - Powerbuilt 641290 by Jeff Billingsley

A complete set of spring lock release tools at this price point and when used correctly they work very well. I would like to point out that the main reason auto manufacturers use springlock fittings on fuel systems is for general safety. If these systems were easy to disassemble, there would be many emergency room visits per year for people suffering hand, face and eye injuries with the possibility of frostbite from blast force, as these systems can be easily disabled while still charged and under high Print. Print. Before using these tools, make sure the system you are working on is exhausted or depressurized. Please note that venting refrigerant into the atmosphere is illegal and local auto/oil change shops charge a small fee to bleed vehicle systems in an environmentally friendly and legal manner. Follow the OEM repair instructions to ensure the fuel systems are also depressurized. If you have done your homework or education and are at least somewhat competent you will have no problem using these spring clamp disconnect switches. These cage style spring latch separators are made from durable plastic that gets thicker in areas where it snaps and actually supports the spring latch boss to allow you to open the fitting. You attach the tool to the fitting to be removed. The spring is quite strong and tensions well. When the correct size is used to engage the spring tab on the correct side of the fitting, a simple hand pressure on the connection tool will open the spring retainer followed by a short pull with your free hand. The hand disconnects. No twisting required, simply push the hook side firmly into the connector and a short pushing motion with both hands on either side of the connector, followed by a quick pulling motion with your free hand, disconnects the connector. Remove the tool and you can fully open the fitting. The real benefit of this cage-style disconnect tool is that you can insert it right into the tightest of spaces for quick fitting removal. If you are a professional auto mechanic, you can find these tools. Wear and tear after several dozen repairs. If you're spending the weekend in the shade, DIY'er is a cheap but competent tool kit to add to your collection.
