Claim:
1. A method of using a quick-connect and quick-connect coupling tool system, the quick-connect and quick-connect coupling tool system comprising: a first member; said first member comprising a first member top face, a first member bottom face, a first member first end, and a first member second end; a second member; said second member comprising a second member top face, a second member bottom face, a second member first end, and a second member second end; said second member being slidably affixed to said first member such that said first member top face and said second member bottom face are slidably opposed to one another; a quick-connect fitting; said quick-connect fitting being shaped so as to comprise at least four regions; said at least four regions being cylindrical; said at least four regions being shaped so as to comprise at least two distinct diameters; a first pair of prongs; said first pair of prongs being affixed to said first member first end; said first pair of prongs being oriented in a first direction, orthogonal to said first member top face; said first pair of prongs being shaped so as to be complementary to at least one of said at least four regions; said first pair of prongs being shaped so as to be complementary to said quick-connect fitting by being shaped in a u-shaped configuration; a second pair of prongs; said second pair of prongs being affixed to said second member first end; said second pair of prongs being oriented in said first direction, orthogonal to said second member top face; said second pair of prongs being shaped so as to be complementary to at least one of said at least four regions; said second pair of prongs being shaped so as to be complementary to said quick-connect fitting by being shaped in a u-shaped configuration; a first urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs apart along an action line into a neutral configuration; a second urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs together along said action line from said neutral configuration; said first urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs apart along an action line into a neutral configuration being affixed to said first member and said second member; said second urging means for urging said first pair of prongs and said second pair of prongs together along an action line from a neutral configuration being affixed to said first member and said second member; a light element, said light element being affixed at a position selected from a group consisting of: a first urging member; said first urging member being affixed to said first member second end; said first urging member being oriented opposite said first direction, orthogonal to said first member top face; a second urging member; said second urging member being affixed to said second member second end; said second urging member being oriented opposite said first direction, orthogonal to said second member top face; a spring; said spring comprising a spring first end and a spring second end; said spring first end being affixed to said first urging member; and said spring second end being affixed to said second urging member; and the method comprising:
