KNIPEX Hose Clamp Pliers for Click clamps (85 51 250 C) 

So many negative comments. A regular pair of pliers will suffice, true, but this purpose-made tool makes the job a whole lot easier, particularly with larger clamp sizes. Don't underestimate the usefulness of click clamps. A correctly sized click clamp has a tremendous clamping force, with give and take, to accomodate temperature differentials. More importantly, the force is applied around the circumference of the hose, relatively evenly. The same cannot be said about your garden variety Jubilee worm clamp. The better worm clamps that have a sliding sheaf under the screw mechanism, cost many times more than click clamps, and are more obtrusive. I’ve had Norma Cobra Hose Clamps (a kind of click clamp) on my irrigation lines at home for over 15 years. At full mains pressure, none have failed, yet, worm drives on the same line, require continual maintenance to minimize leakages.

Bloody brilliant clamps! I am in the marine industry and these stainless steel clamp are perfect for use on fuel and water hoses.. The only issue I have is that you need so many sizes because you buy them for the specific outside diameter of the hose which varies a lot. I will be purchasing the Knipex clamp pliers because they look perfect for those hard to get at locations.

So many negative comments. These clamps take very little space, and once installed exert the right force on the connection. Just because you haven't seen them or are too cheap to buy the right pliers and are having a tough time opening and closing them doesn't make them bad. Amazon and Aliexpress sell reasonably priced pliers, although the ones shown are really good and worth it for the professional. Stop crying and criticizing everything just because it's new to you. I bet you guys still cry when you see a Torx or E-torx and wish for the days of carburetors and no computers.

They're a prick of a clamp without a tool like this - nice!

where do you buy these Clic-R hose clamps?

How does one become a distributor of Knipex Hose Clamp Tools - I Notice you have a very interesting range which I would like to sell online in UK & USA

Are the jaw inserts replaceable?

Do you know what the name of the song is?

how much I have emailed the company in Germany and tried to phone an order through but keep getting cut off.

Does anyone know if these will work on oetiker clamps?

These are cool. Yep found my first hose clamps today on a volkswagon. Tried everything to do them up.

Oh yes cool music rock on !

This video is mesmerizing.

I bought one

Spero ci sia un libretto di istruzioni esauriente in italiano et non solo in tetezko... La mumia non spiega est muta...

What a hassle! Why not just use conventional worm clamps. I've used these for replacements and they seem to hold up well over time.

I hate single-use tools! Why do these claps exist? Why would you make clamps that require special pliers to use? As soon as I get this off I'm putting some proper hose clamps on.

$75 for this tool. Not worth it unless you're using this type of clamp all the time.

I have never seen such clamps.

never saw any thing that used those clamps

I've never seen these clamps used on anything. Frankly, I wouldn't trust them. They don't seem to clamp very tightly. As far as the tool goes, a pair of pliers would work just as well.

My 1995 peugeot 205's power steering return hose was clamped with one of these click clamps, what a stupid clamp to use seriously, even a spring clamp would of been better as it's a low pressure return line, I secured the hose with a half decent branded jubilee clamp because no way in hell am i spending £50 for a single pair of pliers to remove a type of clamp!

[Oo

So many different stupid clamps out there, just to piss us off.

You'd have to pay me to use that tool along with that method. Awful, just plain awful....
