PLATATO 1/4" 1/4" Pneumatic Plug-in Coupling Disconnect Tool Pneumatic Plug-in Air Hose Pipe Trachea Removal Tools

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.

I have not used the tool to any great extent as yet but am happy with it from my limited usage thus far. The smaller tool has to be used for tube up to 3/8". One must maintain a tight grip on the plier handles so the tool is less likely to slip on the tube, while at the same time working the lever to depress the lock ring and start the tube out of the fitting. I have found it necessary to take two or three 'bites' before the tube will come free of the fitting, each bite moving the tube an eighth inch or so. It is a bit awkward to use with one hand and I have found it necessary to use both, one to grip the plier handles and the other to work the unlocking and pulling lever. As I use it I expect it to become easier. Despite the awkwardness, this tool is the only thing I've found that will remove these plastic air lines from their fittings, therefore I can recommend this tool. It is reasonably priced and WORKS!

Was skeptical when considering to purchase but was pleasantly surprised that it works. Will probably buy the small sized 1/4, 5/16 as well. Saves some frustration disconnecting worn fittings.

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!

There are a few of theses specialized hose puller tools and I have most of them. This one seems to be the best of the bunch so far with respect to the build quality and size. By size I mean that it is a bit smaller than most and can get into some smaller spaces, by a little bit but sometimes that little bit is what you need. It won't work in real small or tight places though and not so good where multiple lines are installed close together but then almost nothing will in those cases. I would say worth having it for those special need times before you need to go "caveman".
