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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It works in theory but not in real life

When I received the product I tested its functionality but not on a real clamp. When I was in the middle of a complex repair on my car I had to learn the hard way that this product didn't work, I tried it backwards and forwards it didn't work and I actually had a second pair of hands with it I could use both hands to place it in the right place and ask another person to tighten the pliers, I managed 1 of 3 with this technique, the other 2 I used with a vise, which worked easily. Not only did the clamp pliers not fully disengage the clamp, they also tended to get stuck in the wrong position in the clamps due to the shape and design. One would assume this was user error, but actually I think their design is simply flawed in the first place, at least for the clamps I've worked with, which seemed normal to me. I think $30 is better but I haven't tried them. I should probably send them back as even in very tight spaces and awkward angles the clamps were more effective than these.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • compatibility
