From what I understand, the 1/2" square holes in the Lisle tool are needed for a torque wrench when using stainless bands that have torque spec.

@AllisonCustoms 7 месяцев назад

That is good to know. I never thought of it.

@BellaRocko 6 месяцев назад

That's true. I've seen some service manuals specify a torque spec for their clamps.

@jacobcrawford2898 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. Im repacking a joint and replacing a cv boot on a 4 wheeler Axel shaft and had now idea how the tool worked. But I know I needed it.

@AllisonCustoms 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you found the info helpful. The great thing is these tools are pretty inexpensive and way cheaper than having someone else do the work.

@DoubleRRestorations 2 года назад

Thanks for the vid, the Mustang we are working on had these for the trans cooler lines. I was trying to go back with them, but kept deforming the ear and now I know why. I'm going to get a better set of pliers. I believe these clamps are the same as used on pex plumbing, but I have always used the copper rings. Thanks again

@AllisonCustoms 2 года назад

They may be the same as on pex, I will ask next time I talk to my son-in-law the plumber.

@fletcherpersinger5102 Год назад

Thank you. I always wondered why I couldn’t use a regular hose clamp.

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

Glad I could help! Yea, a regular hose clamp will make things out of balance, causing premature wear and possibly noise.

@ianscarhole6992 6 месяцев назад

Great explanation - thank you!

@AllisonCustoms 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Thanks for watching

@tedlu008 10 месяцев назад

Great video! This ear clamps are used in certain hoses on some European cars. Wonder ear clamp vs worm gear clamp in those situations.

@AllisonCustoms 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info!

I love "Tool Bag Tuesday"... thanks Jeff.

@terranceprice7006 3 месяца назад

What happened to the wind up tool for fitting clips? it was on thr bench til the video was nearly through. The best tool out of all of them, I know you have to use a different type of clip.

@AllisonCustoms 3 месяца назад

I think I showed it in a separate video later.

@johnclancy9860 Год назад

Good video - Thanks. I'm interested in the clamp that works from the side ? Any chance you can shed some light on that one ?

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

Unfits not a clamp that works from the side, but the crimper pliers themselves. Here are the ones ( amzn.to/3sKYbOB ) I purchased a few months back for my Honda Pilot project ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UBNcI-T3t7s.html ) that I just could not get my other pliers into.

I just recently installed a cv boot on a Polaris ATV and of course, Polaris had to be dumb enough to use their own style of clamp, I managed to get it installed using a pair of channel locks. But I sure love to see the proper tool . Any help would be great. I don't see the style of clamp that I used in your video.

@AllisonCustoms 5 месяцев назад

I’m not familiar with the type of clamps you are describing, but I will take a look around and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the idea!

@bhinsch25 Год назад

I tried that tool, but it was really hard to get the tool to attach to the crimp. It kept sliding off. Also hard to get the ring tight enough. Am I doing something wrong?

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

Well, it’s hard for me to say if you’re using the tool correctly or not. I will say that it may take a couple practice tries before you get the hang of crimping the clamps. 1st make sure you have a clamp installed appropriate to the size tubing you are trying to clamp down. If your clamp is even one size up from the one you should be using, it WILL be difficult to get the clamp tight enough to do the job properly. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@sojusliimtdflock Год назад

Are these leak "proof"...

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

These type of clamps have always worked well for me.

@charleskingzett Год назад

You never showed how to use the other style with the twist

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

I get what you’re saying, but this video was really just about the ear clamps and pliers. Thanks for watching!

@stephenmoore4284 Год назад

the ones on the table that i want to see in action, you say nothing about, so why have them ion the vid

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

Which pair?

@mcqcjc8409 Год назад

These clamps are called Oetiker

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

That is another name I have heard, I think Oetiker is a brand name though. Much like calling an adjustable wrench a Crescent wrench or adjustable pliers, Channel locks. But, thank you for sharing that, it may help others as well.

@mcqcjc8409 Год назад

@@AllisonCustoms They are called ear clamps and were invented by Hans Oetiker

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

Thanks for sharing the info!

@gregmcgee529 Год назад

The square drive holes ares for using a torque wrench, GM with stainless steel bands.

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

Yep

@dubya5626 6 месяцев назад

I heard that Lyle version is made in USA and manufacturers the exact same tool for a very expensive "box truck" tool brand.

@AllisonCustoms 6 месяцев назад

I can believe that, they are well made and Lyle does that on at least a few other tools.

@StevenBertucci Год назад

Perfect explanation on how to use a boot clamp pliers with an anvil. Thanks!

@AllisonCustoms Год назад

You are welcome!

@rogerpalmer3522 2 года назад

Thanks. I'm a poor mechanic, I admit, but am slowly learning. I came across one of these on the fuel tank vent line hose and was wondering what I was up against and how the heck it was supposed to come off. Now I know.

@AllisonCustoms 2 года назад

I’m so glad you found the info helpful. Good luck on your repair!
