I bought this to get at some inaccessible vacuum clamps and fuel lines under my car's brake booster. The first cheaper similarly designed tool I bought (also available at my local O'autoparts store) flexed right after pulling the cable. I was able to stretch the cord a bit, but it flexed again and wouldn't close all the way thereafter, making it useless. This new tool will last a lifetime on its own and is probably fit for a pro. Sometimes there's no substitute for the right tool
