• a split collar and jaw arrangement including a collar portion carried on each jaw and collar fixture for engaging and releasing said retainer spring when a first operating position is achieved by said tool;
• a jaw portions included in each jaw and collar fixture for engaging said female connector to achieve a second operating position of said tool;
• a third handle pivotally connected to at a pivot bracket carried by said pliers, said third handle including a flange retainer fixture carried by an end connector of said third handle for engaging said connector flange and holding said flange to help achieve said first and second operating positions;
• and
• a second pivot carried by said pivot bracket perpendicular to said first pivot for pivotally connecting said third handle to said pivot bracket so that said third handle rotates about said second pivot axis perpendicular to said first pivot axis, wherein said conduit fitting can be disassembled by positioning said handles relative to one another such that said female and said male connectors are unrestrained and axially displaced from one another.
