When to Replace

  • Replace this tool if the jaws become bent, worn, or are unable to effectively grip connector tabs.
  • Replace if the spring-return mechanism fails or the pivot joint becomes excessively loose.
  • Inspect for and replace if stress fractures or cracks appear in the handles or jaws.

Installation Tips

  • Ensure plier tips are correctly aligned with the connector's locking tab before applying pressure.
  • Squeeze the handles to depress the tab, then gently pull the connector housings apart.

  • Select the appropriate plier (straight or 60-degree) based on the accessibility of the connector.

FAQs

This set includes two specialized tools: the 37960 straight electrical disconnect pliers and the 37980 60-degree bent electrical disconnect pliers.
First, use the hook on the end of the pliers to pull out the locking tab. Once unlocked, use the point of the pliers to engage the tab, squeeze the tabs together, and lift to separate the connector from the sensor without causing damage.
These pliers are designed for removing electrical connectors on various automotive components, including air flow sensors, fuel injectors, and other common engine sensors found in cars, trucks, and SUVs.
The straight pliers (37960) are ideal for connectors with clear, direct access. The 60-degree bent pliers (37980) are specifically designed for reaching connectors located in tight, obstructed, or recessed areas where a straight tool cannot reach.
Yes, these tools are designed to apply pressure precisely to the locking tabs. By using the hook and point mechanism rather than prying with a screwdriver, you significantly reduce the risk of cracking the plastic housing or damaging the wiring harness during removal.
