Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced GEARWRENCH 145" Automatic Locking Ratcheting Hose Pinch Off Pliers by Dan Reggae

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It just doesn't hold the hose tight. It doesn't matter what you do.

I've been struggling as a professor for over 35 years. Never needed a hose clamp until recently. I bought these (2) good wrenches because I had previous experience with this brand and thought it was a one off thing anyway. I should have kept the packaging. Try as I might, I couldn't get a good handle on the 1" coolant line on the car I was servicing. It should clamp normally, but after a few minutes it started dripping, then it became this pincer that had completely slipped off. The first few times this happened I thought I was using them incorrectly, but after very careful installation and clamping, I realized that these things that just aren't up to the job, no, I wouldn't give them to a friend or recommend to an enemy!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Bad teaching
