Great Clamps - Spare Parts

I used these 2X on the fuel and gas lines in my RV to make a modification. I wish I had these when I was doing all those fuel pumps in my Vanagon!

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • All Right

works but. fits hoses

the little black inside that adjusts the size is a clip if it's made of "cheap" metal and not liquid. I think if the price goes below $10 then it's worth it.

Pros
  • ideal for a small house
Cons
  • i vaguely remember

Best storage for belts, hoses and pulleys

Hose clamp tool works great. Most of the Cal-Van tools I've used have been pretty solid and can actually do what they were designed to do.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Weight

Not clamped enough

You clamped the coolant hoses, but not enough to stop the flow. I still had a trickle of coolant from each hose. So I gave up and just let the system drain my 2 month old coolant.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Compatibility

Worst pliers I've ever used in my life.

I ordered two pairs of these to help me clamp the coolant hoses. The only problem with them is that they just don't work. On both pairs I ordered, the clamps didn't rotate, making it difficult to get into hard-to-reach places, which is one of the purposes of these tools anyway, to make difficult jobs easier. Also, it has become much more difficult to clamp them properly. The ratchet on one of the pairs didn't even work, on the other it broke off completely after the first use. To make matters…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
