⚡ At a Glance
- • Clamping Performance: Secure engagement with CLIC and CLIC-R clamps, fast release and reliable reinstallation
- • Best for: Garage mechanics and DIYers who need quick clamp handling in tight engine bays
- • Not ideal for: Clamps requiring openings larger than 1 inch or single-use non‑reusable designs
Forged #45 carbon steel construction, black oxide coated and heat treated, combines with a spring-loaded 2-in-1 flip design for removal and installation. Designed specifically for reusable CLIC and CLIC-R clamps, also compatible with CV joint boot clamps and other hose clamp types.
Faster clamp removal and installation - thanks to 2-in-1 flip action
Flip the pliers to switch modes between clamp removal (arrow up) and installation (arrow down), eliminating the need for extra tools. The mechanism is labelled to make mode changes straightforward during work.
Switching modes quickly reduces time spent on each clamp and keeps hands free for the next task. Ideal for jobs with multiple clamps where speed matters.
Durable workshop-level build - with forged #45 carbon steel and black oxide coating
Forged from high-grade #45 carbon steel and heat-treated for strength, then finished with a black oxide coating to resist surface corrosion. Construction tolerates repeated use in harsh garage conditions.
Robust construction stands up to frequent use without bending, and the finish helps prevent rust in humid workshop environments. Suitable for daily use by mechanics and regular DIYers.
One-handed operation in tight spaces - with spring-loaded mechanism and 7-inch reach
A spring-loaded mechanism enables smooth, single-handed opening and closing, while the 7-inch length and 1-inch maximum opening are sized for confined engine bays. PVC-dipped handles aid grip during one-handed work.
Easier to operate beneath vehicles and inside crowded engine compartments, reducing hand fatigue and improving control. Makes jobs that previously needed two hands or awkward angles more manageable.
