I'm not making the terminal release tools anymore.
If you want a set of these release tools, you best grease up your elbows!

I was making them manually one at a time and I don't have as much free time now and I've lost the passion for making them as well. I am researching on having parts of them manufactured for me but it will involve a hefty investment. I want to be able to offer a product that works as good, if not better, than the ones I've sold to many my diesel brothers here... but keep the price the same. I have no time table on when I all this will happen, or even if it will happen. But if things work out, I won't keep it a secrete.
For what it's worth, I'm wanting to use the profits from the OEM Butt Connectors to help fund the terminal release tools.
Thank you.
These tools are my version of the factory tools that can be purchased at your local dealer. The factory tools are VAS 1978/16 and VAS 1978/18. I think they cost about $80... per tool.
If you are doing wiring harness work, be sure to check out the OEM butt connectors I sell as well.
Thank you.

jollyGreenGiant said:Swapped a bad quantity adjuster last night, this tool certainly made it easier to pop out the 2 wires on the 10 pin IP connector that stay with the pump ( N108 valve ). Definately easier to use than a paperclip and does a better job with the stubburn ones, I've got a few of the other electrical connector removal tools from Snap-On and Mac, this is much better.

I ordered this micro release tool and when it came in I had 10-3 pin connectors (for those mk5 sirens) that needed the wires removed. It literally took 5 minutes to get the 30 wire ends out. No jiggling, no hassles, just push in to the end where the tool gets wider, and pull out the wire. Thanks for the great addition to my tool box!

compu_85 said:I'll vote for another "You'll love them". Slip the tool in and the wires slip out.

diesel-dave said:these work great, makes terminal work a cinch, well done!!!

New and improved plastic case for them now, takes up less space in your tool box, and I'm a bit tired of generic Kool Aid type drinks.Curious Chris said:They are so cool and he packaged them very cleverly.
I make these in very limited numbers, and I don't send out request for payments until I have a pair ready to ship. If for reasons I'm not able to make tools, there can be a bit of a delay in my response.danski0224 said:I think they are vaporware
