Made in the United States, its tooth geometry is matched to the connector tolerances so you get positive engagement and reliable release while minimizing the risk of damage to the fitting or line. Compact and lightweight, it’s convenient to carry in a technician’s kit for fuel, cooling, and vacuum system service where quick-connect fittings are common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tool release Jiffy-Tite connectors in tight areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lisle 22930 has a low-profile blade with teeth shaped to slip into the narrow clearance around Jiffy-Tite retaining tabs. Once inserted, the tool applies controlled pressure to the clip mechanism so the line can be separated without removing the clip or using excessive force. This design reduces the chance of bending or breaking the connector components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8\" blade width for small connector access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTooth geometry matched to Jiffy-Tite tolerances for reliable engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow profile for cramped engine bays and tight assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllows disconnect without removing retaining clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and dimensions should I expect from the Lisle 22930?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool is lightweight and compact for easy storage and repeated use.
