ANDERSONPOWER PRODUCTS 111038G2 INSERTION EXTRACTION TOOL

If you want ease of installation and removal of contact points this is the tool .

It works well helping to ease the extraction of an assembled power pole contact, I used to do it with a small screwdriver, but with this tool it is just a small twist and the cable can be pulled out of the plastic housing very easily, just need to be careful before twisting to not grab the housing spring. Not so good as an insertion tool because it is limited just for small gauge wire. As others have noted it is a little expensive for what it is. But overall I'll buy it again if I need.

If you are a DIYer and use power poles, you will need this. Trust me it's just a matter of time! It's very simple design, has one job and does it well.

Works great for what it does, but is it really worth what they charge for it?

Anderson Power Poles are great electrical connectors and are widely used in the Amateur (Ham) Radio world to connect radios to sources of power. The problem was that when connections require re-working, there was no easy way to remove the connectors and salvage them for reuse. As a result, the end of the cables with the connectors was usually just cut off and discarded...even though the connector was still perfectly good. This small tool is a great addition to one's Anderson Power Pole "kit" and makes removal of the connectors easy and saves money by reusing them. It's a great addition to your toolset.

This is saving me loads of time in putting Anderson Power Pole connectors together. I always had issues getting the connector pins to go into the connector blocks - this makes it a breeze

Only 3 stars bc it is kind of hard for me to use. Great tool but I have to fight with it to make it work.

Can you survive without it, yes you can. Is it nice to have & better than a jewlers screwdriver, yeppers. It is truly the right tool for the job. Overpriced by a mile but I had a gift card & said what the heck.
