PLATATO Push to Connect Fittings Disconnect Tong Tool for Removing Push-fit Pneumatic Fittings 1/4”, 5/16” (6mm, 8mm) Quick Connect Air Hose Fittings Removal Tool

This very well made tool made working with my reverse osmosis system so much easier. Getting stubborn lines out of push fittings is discouraging; but this tool fits in tight spaces and makes it easier. This tool is easy to carry around since they are the same size as most pliers and so will fit in your tool belt or tool box so that you can carry them around. This tool was a good price for the time and effort it saved me.

I ordered this because of one specific review that mentioned it worked with kegland duotight fittings and EVAbarrier tubing for beer lines in homebrewing. I did initially turn it down because the Amazon AI is, let's face it still not great and possibly biased, go figure. It told me that it would specifically not work with it and to go with another product. A week later I saw a new review about use with these my same beer equipment and he said it was a lifesaver and he is right. The little tool we have for duotight sucks and is worthless, this one is super easy to use, and it disconnected the beer lines cleanly, no fighting. The 6-8mm size was perfect for my beer lines at 8mm OD. It won't pay for itself over time, but the ease of use makes it worth the money vs the frustration of fighting with taking apart beer lines. The center prong feels flimsy like it's going to fall off since it is not under tension, but it worked perfectly. Hats off to the other reviewer.

great product, good price, easy to use, this speciality tool makes my life so much easier, cut time off each job,

This tool works great for what it’s designed for. I’m able to disconnect the airline fittings on my class a motorhome easily. Without this, it’s pretty much impossible to get them off. With this they come off without damage and can be reused.

At first glance they look kinda cheap.. but they work great!! I am a truck mechanic so I’m always messing around with the damn air lines. The pliers work great a must have!!

If you work in diesel/trailer work with really beat up and dirty nylon hoses. This tool is not for you. This totally a light duty 1/4" water hose tool.

I work in the heavy duty towing industry, I deal with taking off quick connect fittings to run air to the broken down trucks in order to release the brakes. These specialty pliers do wonders when the quick connect plugs are tough to do by hand. Sometimes there is little work area to get my hands into comfortably, but these fitting disconnect pliers are awesome! Highly recommend.

Works awesome on the more rigid hoses, however it has a glaring slipping issue on soft line. I ended up using the idea to fabricate my own version with an old set of needle noses. I would really like to see a version of this tool where the hose side flat with teeth kind of like a needle nose. Using the needle nose design does damage the hose, but generally if I am removing the hose I will cut it back or replace it anyways. Otherwise if you work with the more rigid hoses this tool is more worth the money.

Excellent use all the time

Tool isn't very sturdy won't release older fittings that haven't been released in a while

Professionelles Werkzeug um die gängigen Steckverbinder für Pneu-Schläuche zu lösen, danach habe ich lange gesucht, hergestellt in China (wo sonst), geliefert über Amazon US und hier angekommen, wo es gebraucht wird (hat einige Tausend Kilometer auf der Uhr), sauber verarbeitet, und tut genau, was es soll!

We have been working with quick-connect fittings for over a decade, and the fact that this tool exists is great! Once you get the hang of it is very simple and fast. The clamping force may crack older, dryer tubing but this would tell us it needs to be trimmed/replaced anyway.

I was a bit sceptical about these after reading some of the reviews. I regularly have to disconnect push fit fittings for work so worth a shot. They do work brilliantly on 8mm, but do sometimes struggle a bit to grip the softer 6mm tubing. I have added some rubber edge strip to the gripping part of the toll which has improved them a lot.
