Install hose and tube clamps with these specially designed pliers.

Pinch clamp pliers crimp pinch clamps closed on hose and tube. Those with straight jaws must be used perpendicular to the hose. Pliers with straight and side jaws are good for tight spaces because you can use them parallel or perpendicular to your hose. Pliers with a center handle reduce the fully open grip span. They also have a higher closing force than other pliers, so they require less strength to crimp pinch clamps closed.

Spring clamp pliers install and remove spring-tension hose clamps. Pliers with adjustable tips accommodate different sized flat-band hose clamps.

Spring-band clamp pliers have jaws specially designed to grip spring-band clamps which are often found on heater and radiator hose. Pliers with flat jaws have a cross-cut tip design to grip most hose clamps from multiple angles. Pliers with a 35° head angle are good for low-clearance spaces. Pliers with a flexible cable allow access to hose and tube clamps that are difficult to reach.

Cushion grip pliers have plastic grips for comfort. Ultra grip pliers have a grip made of hard and soft materials for comfort and slip resistance. They are shaped to fit comfortably in your hand and reduce strain from repetitive tasks.

These pinch clamps come packed in a box with individual compartments for each clamp size. Easier to install than worm-drive clamps, crimp the pinch points with pinch-clamp pincers for a secure hold. They’re commonly known as ear clamps.

Pinch clamps withstand vibration and temperature changes without loosening. Use them with firm plastic and rubber hose and tube.

Zinc-plated steel clamps have fair corrosion resistance.

304 stainless steel clamps have very good corrosion resistance.

Note: When choosing a clamp, measure the outside diameter of your hose or tube with the fitting installed.
