<p>I use a magnetic wand to uncouple, but I use Sergent couplers, so thats not helpful unless you are considering switching to the Sergent (not Kadee compatible). Before I switched I used the square screwers sharpened to a rounded point. They worked pretty well. I clipped the trip pins on some of my couplers, before outright switching over to Sergents. This seemed to make skewer operation easier. I have also used the h shaped magnetic uncoupling tool. It takes some practice initially, but works well enough that I picked it up after a few tries.</p> <p> </p>
