What is the primary benefit of the dual-purpose side jaw?

The dual-purpose side jaw provides versatile functionality, allowing for both the application and removal of hose clips, as well as potential use on air/fuel vacuum lines.

Will this tool work on screw-type hose clamps?

No, this tool is not designed for screw-type hose clamps. Those require a screwdriver or specialized clamp pliers.

Troubleshooting

Pliers do not grip the hose clip securely.

Ensure the pliers are aligned correctly with the double ears of the clip. Check for any debris on the jaws that might be preventing a firm grip.

Difficulty applying or removing the clip.

Confirm that the clip is indeed a double ear type compatible with this tool. If the clip is heavily corroded, it may require additional effort or replacement.

Pliers feel stiff or hard to operate.

Clean the pivot area and apply a small amount of lubricating oil. Check for any foreign material obstructing the joint.
