Matco what is it?

[imc188222]

Going through my toolboxes I found another tool I'm having trouble identifying. I will attach pictures of it. I picked it up years ago at a flea market or tagsale. I've tried googling to no avail. My guess is it has something to do with releasing a connector of some sort. It is built like pliers but they close just a small amount. I show how much they close in one of the pictures.
I'm sure someone on here knows exactly what they are.
Thanks.

Fuel line disconnect?

Pliers to remove a relay?

Fuel line disconnect is along the lines of what I was thinking. However it doesn't look like any of the ones I own, have used, or seen. Someone must have a catalog that it's in.

Strange it has what looks to be a part number on it that turns up nothing as far as my google-fu goes.

Fedwrench got it right. From Matcos 1999 catalog.

Awesome, thanks!

I believe these are made by Sam.

Late to the game it seems. Story of my life.

they are fuel line disconnection pliers. I've got three different types and used to use them regular until car manufactors started putting filters for life in the petrol tanks.

They are pretty small.
Bill, could you post or link to a picture of the type of connector that these are used on? I was a mechanic from about '02-'14 but I can't picture what connector they would be used on.
Thanks,

These type. They are replacement OEM spec Dorman push fit fuel line connectors & you can get them at Summit racing.

Thanks. I'm very familiar with those, can't say as I ever used a tool on them, maybe a pick if anything. I had this tool in my misc drawer the whole time!

I used to use a pair of flat blade screwdrivers before getting the disconnect pliers because I were sick and tired of struggling to get the fittings off and then having to replace them because the plastic becomes brittle after years of service.
