I am not thrilled with this style of connector used on my 2002 2500HD but they appear to work and are not leaking. I replaced all the radiator/heater hoses and both connectors. I don't know how you would have removed them without such a tool. I watched a few YouTube videos showing their use and bought this set. I don't know when or if I'll be using them again, but they're worth it.
