This new pair of hose clip pliers (part numbers 5899 and 5900) has been introduced by Laser Tools to solve the problem of difficult to access spring-type hose clips and clamps of all sizes. They have a lattice-shaped tooth design that lets them grip the tangs of the clamp securely at any angle — even from the side.
The patented design includes a ratchet mechanism which is used to lock the clamp in place when it is removed. This protects the hose or induction pipe from being crushed by the clamp and makes it much easier to refit the clamp. The slim design is ideal for tight areas and the carbon steel handles and chrome molybdenum steel jaws makes this patented design extra strong for stubborn clips.
The 5899 has a jaw width of 0—38mm and the 5900 22—55mm, which covers most automotive sizes.
