A separation device for electrical connectors comprises a first tool having an aperture defined by interior walls which are matched in size and shape to the exterior walls of a first component of an electrical connector. The thickness of the tool is matched to the distance between protrusions of the first component. Thus, by engaging the tool with the first component, disengagement between the component parts of the electrical connector is achieved. The separation device further comprises a second tool having an aperture defined by side walls which are matched to the configuration of the exterior walls of the second component of the electrical connector. The first and second tools may be used in combination, or may be combined.
