If someone has the time, can you snap a photo the next time you use this on a connector? I bought this but am not sure how the two ends work. Thanks!

Ok, this helps.

That is useful as ****! I use a small flathead. It is for the style connector that clips over itself, retained with a toggle clip. VWs are notorious for theirs breaking clean off.

Amen, I hate all electrical connectors.
Some have confounded me to take longer than the entire rest of the repair!

I never even knew those existed.

They're pretty handy! I've got one in my main box.

Looks like I want one....but it seems like I'd never have enough room. But he did have it on an angle just now....

I bought the OTC set of those (2pc instead of a double ender), havent used them yet, but they are shorter in length.

Absolutely fantastic tool.

Still absolutely hate the style of connector that require it, but the tool helps.

I eventually started using a flathead screwdriver to pry, but looking forward to trying this out.

This thread just cost me money!!

I just bought the OTC 4460 two piece set on Amazon for $13.77 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BVL7LUY/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Now if they made something to make the Chrystler plugs easier it would be a godsend. All thier connectors have a secondary locking device(which is red), and sometimes figuring out how to get them undone is like trying to figure out the combination to the safe at the bank!

I did that, too, but got tired of breaking one of the two retention legs.

Ugh.

Snap-on has a terminal tool for that in the one set, works on ford connectors with the same red locking piece. Deutsh too thinking about it.
I'll get the number later, tools are at work.

edit to add; part no. TT600-6
