Increasingly, new models from several manufacturers are using ball-links instead of snap-on clevises for their aircraft's control surface hardware. Pilot Ryan and Captain Mike filmed a very helpful video showcasing ball link pliers, a simple tool which makes connecting and disconnecting ball links a snap! Literally! It's much easier than prying the ball link off with your fingertips, and using this tool prevents against bending or otherwise damaging the control surface. We strongly recommend using ball link pliers to disconnect and reconnect ball-links.
