Less hand strain when removing clips – With ratchet locking mechanism
Spring hose clamp pliers use a ratchet locking mechanism to hold clamp jaws closed, while a rotating tip allows multi-angle operation in confined spaces. The lock lets the jaw stay clamped without continuous hand pressure.
Ratchet action keeps the clamp secured between movements, reducing fatigue and speeding up repetitive removals.
Access awkward locations – With long-reach wire-spring and angled tips
A long-reach wire-spring plier (27") and angled flat-band plier extend reach into engine bays and behind components, while rotating tips permit approach from different angles. Narrow-profile jaws fit between hoses and engine parts.
Long reach and angled heads make extracting hoses from tight spots, radiators and behind air cleaners far more manageable.
Handles Clic and Clic-R collars – With dedicated Clic-R type pliers and 19mm jaw opening
Clic-R type pliers feature a maximum jaw opening of 0.75" (19mm), designed to engage Clic and Clic-R collar clamps commonly used on European vehicles. The plier geometry matches collar contours for secure engagement.
Suitable for installing and removing Clic/Clic-R collars on VW, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz without improvised tools.
