Un-coupling device

[CNE Runner]

Hi Cody. The RIX uncoupling tool is a hand tool and meant to be moved wherever it is needed. You simply insert the tool between the couplers (a little slack in the couplers helps tremendously) and they part. The flag-like structure is the handle and helps keep the tool oriented in the right direction (namely alongside the couplers). When you purchase the RIX tool, you have to install (read: glue) the two magnets to the white plastic handle. The RIX tool will absolutely work - and work well - with EZmate couplers. Most of the couplers I have installed, on my rolling stock, were Bachmann EZmates...never had any trouble with them.

Thanks Ray,

Can the uncoupling device be left in one place?

thanks,

no. the tool must be inserted between the cars. it is portable and can be used anywhere. it is not designed for a permanent mounting.

Cody - 'J' is correct...it is a portable tool (like a screwdriver) and is used where needed. If you want a permanent uncoupler then you will probably want to consider one of the models Kadee offers.
