Review on πŸ”§ Automotive Repair Swivel-Flex Pliers by Sean Ceo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Used Regular Pliers and Needle Tip

I had a great opportunity to try this hose clamp pliers set. I had to replace the coolant control valve on my Prius. There were three clamps I needed to get everything in awkward positions. In short, I used regular pliers and a needle to remove the clamps. All of the pliers in this set are cumbersome and the fact that they clamp makes them really difficult when you need to squeeze the pliers in a tight spot. They are simply clamped on before you get to the yoke. I was very pleased to try the flexible crimping pliers that allow you to easily maneuver the cable. I managed to get it onto the yoke, but even when it was as tight as the pliers would allow, there wasn't enough force to open the yoke enough to move it. Overall I was very excited to try the set but quite disappointed with the results.

Pros
  • Hose Clamp Tool
Cons
  • Damaged
