New Pressure Buster for Hydraulic Couplers TRACTORS Hydraulics 7-3-14 "I got fed up with the mess," says Jon L. Miller, Rosseau, Minn., farmer who's invented a pressure buster for high-pressure hydraulic couplers that releases the pressure cleanly and quickly.
The jaws of the Pressure Release Grip slip over couplings and a squeeze on the pliers-type handles depresses the bearing inside, releasing the pressure. Any fluid released can be directed neatly into a can or other receptacle.
"Without this tool you have to bang the coupler against metal or whatever's handy to release it and you almost always end up with oil on your clothes and most likely damage the coupler. This tool makes it a quick and easy job. There should be one in the toolbox on every piece of hydraulic equipment," says Miller.
He notes that, while the Pressure Release Grip works on hydraulic lines to most any hydraulically-operated equipment, many late model tractors are already equipped with pressure release valves.
The new tool sells for $14.95.
