Rear release connectors

[Michael]

Does anybody know where to find a tool to release rear release connectors? The only one I have ever found were plastic and didn't last but a few times before they were shot. I could have swore I saw a metal one with screwdriver handle in a tool catalog one time but I can't find it anywhere.

That might be them. I wish I could get a closer look at them. Where can I find these at?

School me on these rear release connectors, I've seen plenty of electrical connectors but don't think I know what they are?

drbill,

These are attachments that go to connect items like electronic gear, trailers and such from a male to female coupling. Got my first taste of these in the service using small screwdrivers and needle nose pliers to make M151 trailer lights work!!

anyone remember the STE ICE?

Ahhh now I know what your talking about. We use Deutsch connectors at work and yes the plastic tools **** after a few uses.
