Orion MotorTech Extended Reach Pliers Review

If you buy this set mainly for long-neck pliers, let it. I tried to remove the lower radiator clamp with these pliers and the first time I used them the clamp on the end of the cable immediately snapped. They must have anticipated this because they have a replacement part with a set screw. It also showed up on the first try. The rest of the clamp pliers worked perfectly.

I used colorful language to combat channel locks to deal with those damn hose clamps that automotive designers seem keen to put in worse and worse places. These tools are a blessing sent from God. The best part is that they are fixed in a compressed position. Worth the money to eliminate common frustrations. However, they are very robust out of the box. They need good engine oil and plenty of exercise to get them ready for action. I also want them to come with a photo guide showing which tool…

First of all I love that they come in a nice carry case. My husband has enough tools scattered all over the garage to at least get rid of the clutter. Second, long-necked tongs save lives. Love the fact that it snaps into place after you extend the yoke. This is very helpful, allowing you to remove the clamp from the hose with your hands and remove the hose without holding the clamp with your hand like you would with regular pliers. The rest of the pliers are very durable and look high quality.
