Abstract
A tool for assembling press-in tube connections which comprises pivoted plier elements having an L-shaped nose with two pairs of opposed recesses at right angles to each other to grip tubes in the plane of the pliers, or perpendicular to the plane, with in-turned ends on the handle to limit the closure to prevent crushing of the tube while providing both a palm rest for application of pressure. The gripping jaws are made with cutters below the jaws and are also designed to facilitate the application of pressure to releasable couplings to assist in the removal of tube.
