Review on πŸ”§ Efficient and Reliable Cable-Type Flexible Hose Clamp Pliers by HFS (R) by Ahmed Rowe

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It worked fine. Surprised by the quality.

It was time to replace all six coolant hoses on my wife's car, but some of the OEM spring clips ended up in places regular pliers couldn't reach. Decided to try this tool. I wouldn't say it made the hard work any easier. . . but it made an impossible job possible, I was pleased with the quality of the tool at such a great price. It worked great for me, but I can't vouch for how long it will last commercially. The tool didn't break the OEM clamps like pliers can sometimes do, so I was able to reuse them all. The savings from buying new clamps almost paid for the tool. One thing I've learned the hard way is that the tool works best when the narrow tab of the clamp is pressed against the jaw farthest from the handle. Otherwise the tongue can slip into the groove between the jaws. There were several terminals that needed to be accessed in the opposite direction. It took a bit more careful tool placement, but I managed it.

Cons
  • Slightly dented
