Glad a new generation figured out these pliers. I've got a pair of 45 year old ZIM 970 hose clamp pliers...still working great.

You are my hero I'm a 62 year-old female I just bought these cuz my radiator needs a lot of work but I couldn't I ordered the exact same ones now I can't wait tomorrow to take off the hose and put some heat tape on the little crack in my radiator top part where the hoes connects I am so happy I bought these and I'm so happy for your chattel because you explained it so easy that I feel confident thank you so much

I gotta admit I typically use the "standard" plyers for hose clamps and such and yes usually end up cussing them out for said reasons so these are perfect for the price. I'm gonna order at least two to keep one in each box, good review Brandon.

Very cool. I have the flexible hose clamp version of these, which are able to get into incredibly tight spots. I was able to get to all my radiator clamps from the top of the engine on a 2006 Matrix. The clamps on my Toyota have a lock open feature built into them to make them super easy to install, but it's tricky to get them to lock open and watch your fingers when you snap them closed.

Hi friend. I think the same as you. While I was searching for an easier way to do this job, I found these pliers and came across your video. I am buying this tool and adding it to my toolbox. :)))

Got one today. Like you said, they make loosening/moving hose clamps a whole lot easier.

I like my mishimoto set, I paid 39, but you can find them nowish (12/22) for less than 50$ and it's the full set w/ remote pliers Edit: I'll add I work for Mack/Volvo so I use mine DAILY. Not worth the snap-on or Cornwell although I have borrowed a large bluepoint set when my size "had walked off" and I did like them.. I reckon smazon would work but Mishi warranty is on point

Bought them to change the coolant overflow jug on my daughter's car. Worked great. Took the clamps off the old jug one at a time. Slid them on the new jug and released the pliers. Clamps locked right in place. $10.00 well spent.

I bought a cheap pair of these online. They work for the smaller clamps but I had these bend on me on some of the bigger older clamps. Recommend buying a little more pricey one of this model of pliers.

Thanks for the video. I've had a hose clamp pliers set for a while. Now I know how to use it.

Yes and yes it will work beautifully and quickly only and only if you have a space to clamp that thing. Wish is adjustable right or left angle. Still a good tool. Thanks for the video 👍🙂

Just bought the same looking pair from advanced auto parts yesterday and are great! Paid almost double of what you did but was worth it in the moment.

You're awesome! Thanks, just fucked myself up in a job because didn't have the proper tool, live and learn!

Just got mine from Amazon today. Those are a life saver and makes the job so much easier. I bought the whole kit set with multiple different tools for oddly place hose clamp that is a nightmare to get access to. Great tools for hose removal. Before, it was a headache to remove those hose clamp and I just cuss the shit out of those car manufacture because those hose clamp are place in spot that is in a very tight spot to gain access to...to remove them. Well worth the investment.

Just bought this! Using today! Thanks for the video.

you can get the angled heads too for tight areas

When using this tool to compress spring clamps make sure you wear safety glasses, i had a brand spring clamp brake off while under compression from this type of tool.

I feel your pain. And it's like the factory put'em in the most awkward spot they could think of 😆😆. I replace mine with screw clamps when they're in a spot that I can easily get a screw driver or socket with an extension into, but not enough room for your hand and pliers. But i'mma have to get one of those tools if just for the removal of the original clamp. Because sometimes you can get to the darn clamp but you don't have enough room to squeeze your pliers down really good and move them enough to work the clamp loose.

nice to know the pliers lock in place, now I bought a pair

I vouch for that tool too - game changer.

Flex hose clamp tool sends us straight to "clamp hell"! it spun the clamp nipples under the low hose and took 4 hours of needle nose plier work to remove :( , this tool looks amazing , Ty

Those are great but a standard pair of vice grips works nearly as well and they also lock just adjust them to where they are about half the width of the tab spacing on the clamp.

Ive been a mechanic for 30 years and i have never owned a pair of these but I'm gonna buy me some,god i hate these clamps with a passion, i normally wrangle them with some vise grips but thats not the proper tool either, gotta have the right tool for the right job.

$10.99 now. Ordered + Subbed!

Great Tool buying one for Sure My Long Needle nose pliers were not working so great on my Mitsubishi Trans Cooler Hoses man it was a Hassle i had to Lube up those hose clamps with a little wd40

FYI: you'll need those plyers when your Commander's plastic heater core hose "T" valves crack and leak. Ask me how I know. LOL!

I need this now. OMG thank you.

I ordered these based this recommendation. Cup tip fell off upon opening the package because the retaining clip was missing. Handles' pivot point was too stiff for one-hand use. They felt and functioned like an inferior tool. I sent it back immediately and spent more for a far better tool.

Awesome man, I just bought these. I have to give them a try!

You got me again 🤣

Thank you

Just bought a pair. Right now, as I type this, they are on at 50% off! so $5!

Just ordered off the Amazon link. Thanks!

Using 45 degree long reach needle nose had me cursing Dodge engineers

Thanks for the video brother! Went and got one from Walmart asap

Great tool - tks for sharing

GRACIAS, GRACIAS , GRACIAS

Those clamps have a catch on them to hold them open.

Thank you.

i will tray thanks

I normally use my knipex raptor

Harbor freight bit needle noses work phenomenally and the whole set is like $10 lol

perfect viDO, I was thinking of returning one I got cause I thought cup end was a missing rubber gizmo.. but then I said w8, mAB that cup thing is for the small end of spring clMp. then U kEp mUVng it RoOnd & I said I hope this guy slows down that thing for just 1 secNd - thN U did &&& Xplained-verified wat I 1drd - swwEEEEET😬.. thNx chEf👋

Also...subbed, you rock

What about the giant air intake size on turbos?

My Mazda has some clamps where the wide side is not connected, its just two pins. It's like you need a channel locks with 3/4 inch jaws. Any tips on removing such a clamp?

Have you got a link to where I can buy please? I’m desperate😪

Awesome

Do those pliers work at different angle, because my radiator hose doesn't have the clearance to have those pliers at a direct 90 degrees from the hose

I have zero problem compressing them the problem is getting them to slide on new hose.

Clean

Aren’t those the free pliers that come with the $10 box of spring clamps from China?

Unreal

there is another version with cable .....what's the difference?

If there is a need for direct sales car tube bundles from the manufacturer, please contact me

Some dummy put the clamps upside down so i can even get to the waterpump housing hoses

This doesn't work for Ford hose spring clamps where both ends are flat.

9.99. Sold.

Mainly for audi

For $10? I’ll give ‘‘em a shot

That works fine until troll automakers install the clamps on the under side of the hose.

Fake review.
