Hi Mike - wow - awesome!

This is an extremely good find, for reducing what I think is one of the highest risk areas in FST.

I would strongly suggest that those doing any plugging/unplugging of production hybrids anywhere, stop work until they procure this exact tool. It will be worth any delay that incurs. Of course, not my decision, only recommending here.

I am attaching here your two photographs so others on list can see.

Thanks, sincerely,

Gerard
