The invention relates to a modular construction system, comprising at least two construction elements and a coupling element, wherein: the coupling element comprises a body with two surfaces which are each provided with coupling means, wherein the coupling means of at least one surface comprise a ring of resiliently pivotable lips provided with locking protrusions; at least one of the two construction elements comprises an opening for receiving the lips of the coupling element; the lips are adapted to displace inward in order to release the connection between the coupling element and the construction element; and the plate-like body of the coupling element comprises an opening which is provided with resiliently pivotable tongues extending radially inward which are connected to the lips, wherein the tongues are displaced out of the plane of the plate-like body by a force being exerted thereon, such that due to displacement of the tongues the lips are displaced inward.
Tool for use with a modular construction system, the tool comprising a body provided with at least one pin-like body which is adapted to displace tongues of an opening of a plate-like body of a coupling element out of the plane of the plate-like body, at least close to first outer ends of the tongues.
