Its 85° bent, low-profile head gives access between the fuel tank and vehicle body where straight tools won't fit. The spring return reduces hand fatigue and improves control when working on Delphi two-tab connectors, many import vehicle fittings, and some electrical connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 85° low-profile bend help when working near the fuel tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 85° angled head lets the tool reach fittings tucked between the top of the fuel tank and surrounding components, where straight disconnect tools or bulky pliers cannot access. This makes it practical for in-place service without extensive disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAngled head slips into narrow clearances for direct access to fittings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile shape minimizes obstruction when reaching over tanks or brackets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces need to remove nearby parts to reach the connector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich connectors and vehicles will these disconnect pliers work on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese pliers are optimized for Delphi two-tab fuel and EVAP quick-disconnect fittings and will fit many import vehicle connectors.

The Lisle 37160 Disconnect Pliers are aimed at professional technicians and home mechanics who frequently service fuel or EVAP systems and need a reliable, compact tool for hard-to-reach quick-disconnect fittings. It's particularly useful for shops working on import vehicles and any technician who prefers a spring-return plier that speeds up repeated connector releases while minimizing hand fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will these pliers work on all quick-disconnect fuel lines?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: They work best on Delphi two-tab fittings and many import connectors, but may not fit every manufacturer’s design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need to relieve fuel system pressure first?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
