New Snap-on Terminal Release Hand Tool Set Offers Varied Selection For Quick, Controlled Terminal Removal



KENOSHA, Wis., Nov. 17, 2004 - With the introduction of the 6-Piece Terminal Release Tool Set (SGTT106A) from Snap-on Tools Company, automotive technicians now have an assortment of hand tools for manual diagnostic electrical work that requires surgical precision and focus. Tools within the set are designed to remove terminals from electrical connectors for import and domestic vehicles manufactured between the mid-1990s and today. The set also features a harness sheathing ripper (SGTT4A), which excels at slicing wiring harnesses for access to power-carrying electrical currents and troubleshooting applications.

The Snap-on Terminal Release Tool Set includes six separate hand tools that are engineered with heavy-duty stainless steel shafts and blades for enduring support and lasting performance. Ergonomic and contoured handles add increased comfort and control, particularly for hard-to-reach areas and confined workspaces.

Tools within the Snap-on Terminal Release Tool Set provide general and specific removal functions for a range of foreign and domestic vehicle makes. Technicians can choose and use:

-- SGTT1A to remove Chrysler, Kia and Mitsubishi PCM and transmission harnesses.

-- SGTT2A to release tabs on newer terminal blocks. The model features a robust narrow blade with fulcrum for added leverage.

-- SGTT3A to access under hood sensors that control coolant temperature, throttle position and other functions for Ford, GM (including Cadillac) Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Hyundai vehicles.

-- SGTT4A to cut open wire harnesses for access to troubleshooting and replacement applications. The blade is specially shaped to open wire casing without piercing the wire.

-- SGTT5A to remove terminals from BMW, Ford, GM, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kai, Mercedes, Volvo and Volkswagen 55-Pin ABS electronic control units.

-- SGTT6A to remove terminals from Audi, BMW, Ford GM, Infiniti, Jaguar, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Suburu, Saab, Volvo and Volkswagen 35-Pin ABS electronic control units.
