sewer connections

here is one that I have not seen before - for those seniors with arthritis. My wife and I are having trouble connecting and disconnecting the grey/black bayonet connectors due to a lack of physical strength in our hands.
Does anyone know of a device (clamp) of some sort that could make this task easier for us seniors?

You probably are not the only one with worn out hands... I am pretty much on my way. They do sell gizmos to allow easier twisting of the sewer connections:

Google: RV SEWER HOSE WRENCH for more options! Good luck.

Amazon has them in stock, unlike Walmart, at the same price. They are just what I needed!

On another forum there is a couple with the same arthritic hand issue and those things were a life saver for my good friends.

I pulled up both the amazon and walmart links and they both show unavailable with unknow supply date. Guess another casualty of our ongoing situation. I have, and have used, a Craftsman tool with an adjustable strap that works. I'll see if I can find a link; mine's pretty old.

I guess the type of strap wrench I have has been discontinued. Here is a link to something somewhat similar from Harbor Freight. Looks like many folks make them so might be able to find one;

I ordered using the Amazon link and they are on their way (according to Amazon). It must have been the last set as it now says "unavailable" when I look.

Hopefully you have better luck than the items I ordered from them in March before I left for FL. Billed me as soon as I ordered, showed shipped next AM (scanned? something) and to this day I've not received any of the 3 items.... Amazon has really slipped IMO.

I've found Amazon to respond quickly on issues, either issuing credit or shipping replacements.

Used to be - I've ordered hundreds to thousands of dollars a month from them. I've used them for years but that's not the case any longer. They don't respond; to email, calls, contact to them or seller. Told me multiple times I needed to "wait longer" (after it was 2 weeks past the delivery date - even extended for covid). The orders that never came, and refunds I requested in March actually happened today (refund)- ridiculous. I had already had Amex take them off my bill - THEY operate efficiently....so far.

A pair of these pliers would work well for connecting and disconnecting sewer fittings. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pr...-filter-pliers
I have a large plier that works well for many different things, including removing a stuck cap on a sewer pipe in the ground, and it would also work for the bayonet sewer fittings.
