Solar Panel Tool

This worked great for disconnecting solar panels while working from the roof. Once you get the proper angle, it will be easy to use this tool. Also having two was good because I ended up dropping one and used the other that was in my pocket.

The basic solar connector provides a secure, waterproof connection between solar panels and external wiring. If you need to disconnect them, it can be a challenge. This tool makes it pretty easy. That's my primary use for this tool. I keep one in the battery box I charge with solar panels. Once I'm done and breaking down the setup, having this tool available makes the job much easier. I typically do not assemble solar connectors onto cables, but this tool would make that much easier also. Sure, you could grab the nut with pliers and tighten, but you run the risk of slipping and damaging the connector. One of these holds the body securely as you use the other to tighten the nut. No risk of damaging the connector, no slip, and no leaks. It's the right tool for the job.

A must to disconnect solar connectors!

For two tools, they are a great price and they are the only tool that is spaced close enough to work on the MC4 connector of my panels. Even though the plastic tabs can break (one of my first two did break), it is nice that the tabs bend a little so you can fit them in you connector if the spacing isn't exactly perfect. For the price, they are great.

Cheap Chinese garbage. Both of them broke on first use. Just reordered a metal one.

If you are going to be connecting and disconnecting MC4 connectors this tool is well worth the small price. It comes as a 2 pack. The plastic is a very hard resin type and worked great for me. I had around a dozen connectors that had to be redone and w/o this tool I would need to resort to a pair of needle-nose pliers, and small flat-head, and a lot of cussing ha ha. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I plan to order a another set or two to have on stand-by just because the price is good and the quality is excellent. Not a cheap piece of junk at all. You will be quite happy to own this product.

Does not fit all connectors, including the ones I bought from Amazon. Too narrow to even fit over the arms of the connectors. Ended up just using pliers which is a problem if doing a lot of connecting and disconnecting during system setup and testing.

Just a tool that is needed
