This tool is excellent for the spring clamps on our 1999 VW Beetle. It works on the best with large clamps, like those on the upper and lower radiator hoses. Smaller clamps also work, but it would be better if it could grip the smaller clamps a bit more. This tool is a life saver and much easier to use in most cases than a pair of pliers. The long wire extension allows you to get to hard-to-reach places where pliers cannot be used. Highly recommended.
