Lisle 22930 Low Profile Disconnect Review

There are two common sets of tools for Jiffy-Tite connectors that have been rebranded by many companies. This phrase and narrow quarters (usually round) separate the instruments. Tight quarter tools are aluminum which is a problem as these fittings can be very tight and with a tight quarter tool I always feel like I'm going to break them if I squeeze them. They are made of steel and make for a much more positive turn off. I just did a turbo coolant install on a 2011 Powerstroke 6.7 and the…

I'm sure the tool would have worked if the lines were clean and free of corrosion. My recommendation would be to check the line connections and if they aren't clean enough it probably won't work.

This complicates installation and operation as you struggle with gravity, and can complicate low ride height situations where you're lucky enough to just place the tool on a hard line at first. I used it to disconnect the transmission cooler. Lines from the transmission cooler of a 2008 Jeep…
