Abstract
A cable decoupler tool configured to uncouple a drain cleaner cable coupling. The cable decoupler tool includes a mouth configured to receive a circumferential portion of a cable, a pin key extending from the mouth, and an actuator movable relative to the mouth to uncouple the drain cleaner cable coupling.
Claims16
A cable decoupler tool configured to uncouple a drain cleaner cable coupling, the cable decoupler tool comprising:
- a first handle including a first jaw, the first jaw defining a first mouth configured to receive a circumferential portion of a cable;
- a pin key extending from the first mouth, the pin key being an elongated cylindrical member;
- and
- a second handle including a second jaw, the second jaw defining a second mouth, the second handle being an actuator movable relative to the first handle to uncouple the drain cleaner cable coupling.

A drain cleaner system comprising:
- a cable;
- an accessory coupled to the cable to form a coupling;
- and
- a cable decoupler tool including,
- a first handle including a first jaw, the first jaw defining a first mouth configured to receive a portion of the coupling,
- a pin key extending from the mouth, the pin key being an elongated cylindrical member, the pin key configured to extend into the coupling to disengage the accessory from the cable, and
- a second handle including a second jaw, the second jaw defining a second mouth, the second handle being an actuator movable relative to the first handle to separate the cable from the accessory.

A cable decoupler tool configured to uncouple a drain cleaner cable coupling, the cable decoupler tool comprising:
- a first handle including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first grip disposed at the first end, and a first jaw disposed at the second end, the first jaw defining a first V-shaped opening;
- an elongated cylindrical member extending from the first V-shaped opening;
- a second handle pivotably coupled to the first handle about a pivot axis, the second handle including a third end, a fourth end opposite the third end, a second grip disposed at the third end, and a second jaw disposed at the fourth end, the second jaw defining a second V-shaped opening;
- wherein the first grip and the second grip are aligned in a plane that is perpendicular to the pivot axis;
- and
- wherein the first jaw and the second jaw are aligned in a first position to receive the drain cleaner cable coupling, and wherein the first jaw and the second jaw are misaligned in a second position to decouple the drain cleaner cable coupling.
