Several years back, there was a post on this forum that detailed a tool that relieved the pressure build up in hydraulic hoses preventing reconnection. The manufacturer was a farm out west. I keep thinking it was Worth or Wirth Farm. It is the only tool they make and they sell it at farm and tractor shows. They do not have a web site. Does anyone remember this tool and the manufacturer? I would like to buy one since changing back and forth between my back hoe and my log splitter is a pain when pressure builds up. Even with a rag and a a rubber hammer I get a hydraulic bath sometimes. The tool was around $30.
Any one out there with a good memory or better search techniques than I have?

I was hoping to get a tool like the one I Linked above. That tool is designed to Press the connectors together without squirting a shot of fluid every time I reconnect. I already made a simple pressure relief tool. One male and one female Connector attached to a Brass Ball Valve. I works fine but I was looking to keep all the Hydra Fluid where it belongs.

Heck, I just put an aluminum end on a small puller, and keep that around; it will grab either the male or female ends of Pioneer QRs, with either the balls or poppets, and release the pressure (wrapped in a rag, or you'll get messy!) Sometimes, if the ends on the implement/attachment are correct, you can mate those as soon as you remove it, and pressure will not build.

Tractor side, with my 3rd function, I typically hook up whichever side is of lower pressure first, then blip my rocker switch over to relieve the other side. (keep in mind this may deadhead the equipment on the connected side, but this is what PRVs are for)

But if we are talking about implement/attachments being locked up, it sure can be a pain in the butt if you had detached late last night, then, find you need to hook back up at high noon today. The sun heating everything up and all.

I haven't picked one up just yet, but I think this would be of help Pioneer 1/2 in. Connect Under Pressure Tip, 1/2 in. NPTF at Tractor Supply Co.
has a small pressure relief tip on the top of the poppet.
