Autocraft Flat Band Hose Clamp Pliers

Comments about Autocraft Flat Band Hose Clamp Pliers:

Allowed me to remove both clamps and put them on new hose. After putting hose in place and seating first clamp, it flew apart. I was able to use it to get the 2nd seated but without the locking feature. Would probably be fine as long as you don't have any tight spots to maneuver. So, basically, if you have a newer auto... don't even bother with this tool.

These pliers are made to hold the spring type hose clamps for easy removal and installation. They are perfect for that use. There is a spring loaded catch thart allows them to lock closed. The ends hook into the spring tips so the spring doesn't go flying as it would with regular pliers. My only negetive comment is that the pliers don't have a spring to open them. It would make it easier for one handed operation when reaching to get to a hose as most hoses are in locations where you can't fit both hands

Excellent Tool. Remember to place large in of clamp in slot and small end in whole. I used it to remove hose for heater core replacement. Worked perfectly

I used product to replace to remove hoses from a heater core. The thing that I liked most was how it has a vice-grip type of mechanism to keep clamp open for manuvering. Little slippery when it gets wet. Keek in mind, put large end of clamp in slot and small end in hole.
