Loc-line tool

[adamatic]

Anybody have a loc-line tool that I could borrow for a day? I cannot get these pieces to connect.... Arggggghhhhh!!! Thanks!

I snaped mine together by hand

Yup, I did it by hand too.

It's not working by hand - I have to lean over the full tank and I just don't have the leverage. Anyone have a tool???

The smaller ones are a lot tougher to get together by hand than the larger ones. I found the 3/4 inch is pretty easy but the 1/2 inch can be tough. Sorry I dont have a tool. Im too cheap to get one.

i bought one, you can borrow it. it's the smaler of the 2 sizes premium aquatics sells.

i'm in bartlett.

one thing i noticed with the 3/4 is that the locline that i bought 6 mos ago from marine depot will not work with the stuff that i bought from PA last week. i thought it was just a little tight but actually cracked one trying to get it in there. its either different mfg or they are changing up dimensions intentionally to make a little $$$

NO LEVERAGE ?...........................I used 2 vise grips to hold the 2 piece, not to the point U crack the plastic, enough to hold them thats all ,then use channel lock pliers and grab the visegrips ,...." pop in" ..............walla!! both piece together.
