Flexible 610mm Ratchet Hose Clamp Removal Pliers 441030 – Key FAQs
What type of hose clamps are these pliers designed for?
They’re designed for spring-loaded self-tightening hose clamps commonly found on vehicle coolant and hose systems, including many metal and plastic clamp types.
Why is the tool 610mm long?
The long reach helps you access clamps buried in tight engine bays or behind components, where standard pliers can’t reach comfortably.
What does the flexible mechanism help with?
The flexible design makes it easier to approach clamps from awkward angles, improving access and reducing the need to remove other parts for clearance.
Do these pliers lock the clamp open?
Yes, they can lock the hose clamp in the open position, making it easier to remove and refit hoses without the clamp snapping shut.
What clamp sizes will they fit?
They have a jaw capacity range of 18mm to 54mm, covering many common automotive spring clamp sizes.
Are these only for automotive use?
They’re mainly used for automotive servicing, but they can also be useful for general maintenance tasks where spring hose clamps are fitted.
Can they be used on screw (worm-drive) hose clips?
No, these are intended for spring-loaded clamps. Worm-drive clips are tightened with a screw mechanism and are better handled with a screwdriver or nut driver.
