KNIPEX Tools 85 51 180 C, 7.5" Hose Clamp Pliers for Click Clamps

Took a little getting used to how to use them, but these were essential for working on the PCV system of a subaru. Compact enough to fit in the narrow spaces around the hoses, and usable at almost any angle due to the ability to rotate the head. Much more usable than the cheap generic clamp pliers I bought first before getting these.

Quality Tool and does make removing hose clamps much easier. Will last a long time. Very sturdy and has nice hand grips.

I am an automotive tech and work on Euro vehicles that require these type of pliers . I have used knipex for 30 years these are awesome they come in two sizes get both

These are far and away the best tool for Clic-R clamps because the heads rotate so you can get them on clamps where there would be no way with regular clamp pliers. They are a bit pricey, but worth it. I still fiddled around with a clamp for several minutes figuring out how it works, but eventually you figure it out and they work great.

They sell these pliers on the tool truck for like 100$ more lol. They work really well for there intended application.. the swiveling jaws are a blessing and a curse. Over all happy to have em in my pliers drawer

I finally received the Knipex 8551250c 10" hose clamp pliers for click clamps. now I have the a & c hose clamp pliers. They will be very useful in the shop.

These work great for hose clamps and locking clamps. Great tool from a great company.

These work for removing clic & clic-r hose clamps. But the end pieces are small and rotate too easily which makes it hard to line up the clamp and get them to work. These come with no instructions and it takes a bit to figure out how to use these. Note: you don't need to apply much pressure to get the clamps to release (or engage) and you need to make sure the "hook" part of the clamp has fully seated over the part it catches on (i used a needlenose to make sure it was seated fully). Not a fan of these clic-r clamps as they don't give me a confident feeling as they just click in place. Took me way too long to get them to click into place correctly - ended up slightly bending one of the clamp end "hooks" trying to line this thing up in an awkward position while thees end pices kept turning out of alignment. So it seems like a quality tool but if those end pieces didn't rotate so freely, would have been 5 stars. Oh, and these are WAY TOOO EXPENSIVE.

Knipex c'est de la qualité pro. Super outil pour la fonction demandée
