what do you use to uncouple?

I was having a lot of problems with the Kadee magnetic uncouplers until I did two things: Upgrade every car with genuine Kadee couplers and make use of the Kadee coupler height gauge to ensure that couplers are on center and the trip pin heights are correct. One of the best little tools you can buy along with an NMRA gauge.

AMEN!!! Those coupler gauges are amazing for adjusting couplers. If you will be using kadees this should be one of your first purchases!!!

Ditto on that!!
For uncoupling, I use the bamboo skewers. I also use ground throws on my turnouts. I like to do more than just turn the throttle dial.

I use this, but can't remember who makes it.

Skewer. I've got them at every switching location. Cheap and easy.
