Tool (10) includes a pair of elongate members (14,26,36) pivotably movable by handles (14) being urged together and apart, for the tool work end (12) to perform coupling and uncoupling operations on a connector assembly (200) placed in either channel (32) or (24) respectively. Each connector (100) is of the type having a rearward section (102) secured on an end of an electrical cable (150), and a forward section (104) including both a blade contact end section (110) and a blade-receiving recess (126) thereby being hermaphroditic and able to be coupled to another like connector (100); the connectors are rotatable about cooperating coupling sections (130) into and out of axial alignment. The tool work end (12) includes a fulcrum embossment (18) along its pivot axis, and a pair of first bosses spaced rearwardly therefrom to define a first or uncoupling channel (24), and a pair of second bosses (30) on prong ends (34) forwardly of fulcrum embossment (18 ) to define a second or coupling channel (32), with the fulcrum embossment (18) engaging either side edges (120) or side edges (118) of both forward connector sections (104) and the first and second bosses (22,30) engaging respective rearward connector sections (102) to apply opposing forces on selected locations to rotate the connectors.
