Powerwerx RT-1 Powerpole Insertion, Removal & Extraction Tool

What can I say... It's built sturdy enough that it doesn't break first day on the job. I've used the tool on the small Anderson connectors as well as the bigger beefier.

Recently had a project where I had to create a bunch of removable 12v power connections with Anderson Powerpole connectors. I was using 14-gauge zip cord, which is very flexible. I found that 14-gauge zip cord used with the 30-amp Powerpole connectors was too flexible to be inserted into the connector. The wire would just fold on itself and I couldn't get the metal connector to "click" into the plastic housing. I used this tool to push the metal tab into the housing and it works well. I haven't used this tool to extract the metal tabs yet and probably never will, so can't comment on that part. You could use a small screwdriver to do the same thing, but this tool was designed to fit into the Powerpole connectors. It works. Buy once, cry once.

It really helped with placing the wires into the power pole connectors

It's a handy tool to get the connector out of the plastic so that you can replace or repair.

It works very well.
