Abstract
A tool for pulling and removing the male housing of an electric connector away from the receptacle space of the female housing. The male housing has a plurality of slots to accommodate terminals, each terminal having a length of wire connected thereto. The tool includes a shank and a tool body integrally connected thereto. The tool body has a wide-and-short leg and a narrow-and-long leg in the form of a fork. The narrow-and-long leg has a lock projection on its rear side to be engaged by a lock recess or hole on the rear wall of the terminal slot in the male housing.
