Good for easy removal of engine hoses.

J-hook slides into the hose and pulls out to the handle. It's small enough to slip under some hose clamps in situations where the hose clamp might be difficult to remove. I recently changed the radiator and transmission hoses in my car and this tool made the job easier. A large pry bar for very stubborn or corroded hoses can also come in handy. I've had good results with this tool combined with the largest pry bar in the Tekton 3350 set when I encountered a radiator hose that wouldn't move. It…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons

Great tool for clogged hoses

Great tool for those clogged hoses! it looks very menacing but serves its purpose. I don't think I could have opened my hose without a tool like this as it was in such a tight space and my hose felt like it was glued to the fitting. The price of this item is very good considering that it has saved me from many disappointments. I had to remove a hose that was attached to a plastic connector that just slipped off with little effort. So make sure your hose needs to be pryed open before you buy…

Pros
  • Unique tip fits easily between hose and fitting to sever stubborn hoses
Cons
  • Low repairability

Recommended for tools and equipment

Tip is a bit sharp so be careful you've heard of people prying and punching holes in hoses. Extremely handy for most hoses and rusty stuck hoses, this thing is a time saver and a must have. Was impressed in the last year of use. I've only used it about a dozen times, including a boat engine change, but each time it's been quick and fairly painless. From small hoses to large ones, you can no longer do without them. The only time this can't help is if you can't get into a specific area and still…

Pros
  • Large handle provides a good grip on tool when removing hose
Cons
  • I'll add later

Great tool - no bleeding joints

This tool is amazing. I always struggle with hoses snagging on water pumps, thermostat housings and everything in between. It seems that despite everything, the hoses are held as if glued. This thing removes the hose every time. The hook shape works really well to separate the hose from the neck it's on and I can get around the entire neck most of the time with the way it's angled. The only downside is that you may not be able to reuse the hose every time. The sharp end will allow you to…

Pros
  • High strength plated steel and durable plastic construction for reliable performance and long life
Cons
  • Protection
