Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This tool is indispensable for working with mc4 connectors. Using a dab of dialectric grease when assembling the connectors makes them easy to disconnect. For the price it’s a must have if you do solar panels that use mc4 connector.



Cons

The tool slips on the mc4 notched end where the cable enters. The socket size on the tool is much larger than connector cgb nut. Neither of the pairs of prongs on the other end of the tool can easily be used to release themc4 twin spring latches.

Plastic is too thin to press the pins together when disconnecting the mc4 cables. Sae connector to the extension cable/solar controller was reversed, the polarity is backwards. Missing 3 male pins.

Do not be fooled. It is pointless. Not worth 10 cents.

Quality control on this purchase is unacceptable. Submitted a case to renogy and will update review if this issue is corrected. Find another brand.

Quality


Tool works great does what it needs to do.


I contacted renogy and they seem unconcerned about this defective product.


With much effort, i was able to get one of them to disconnect with the tool, however no luck with the second one which is still stuck.


So, if you find yourself struggling with the connectors, buy this tool.

Shipping


Too bad no free shipping to return.


Note the shipping lately has been slow for renogy products so just be patient they will show up if not a day or two late.

Packaging/appearance


They break very easily and one even arrived broken in the bag.

Competitiveness


The renogy solar connectors are well designed and of high quality.

    This time nothing i did would get them apart so i bought this tool

    With much effort i was able to get one of them to disconnect with the tool however no luck with the second one which is still stuck


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im thinking maybe the intense heat over 100 degrees every day may have melted some of the plastic together or some of the wires inside may have melted together so it may not be the tools fault


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Maybe if i had the tool initially and disconnected the wires earlier on that i may have avoided the problem i have now


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Meanwhile this tool does work for disconnecting mc4 connectors as long as they are not melted together


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These are sold as weatherproof


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its plastic so it can feel like its bending at times


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Accidently ripped the wire out of one of these connectors while loading my truck
