Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot Flexible Long Reach Hose Clamp Pliers are an essential tool for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics looking to simplify the removal and installation of self-tightening hose clamps in confined engine bays. Featuring a 630mm flexible cable, these pliers reach into tight spaces where standard tools cannot fit, providing a secure grip and locking mechanism to keep clamps open during operation. While they offer exceptional reach and versatility for clamps ranging from 18mm to 54mm, users should note that they are specifically engineered for self-tightening styles and may not be suitable for permanent band or ear-type clamps.

FAQs
Can I use these on standard screw-type hose clamps?
No, these pliers are designed specifically for self-tightening spring-type clamps and will not work on screw-type worm gear clamps.
What is the maximum jaw opening capacity?
The jaws can open to a maximum of 53mm.
Are these pliers made for metal or plastic clamps?
They are suitable for both metal and plastic self-tightening hose clamps within the specified size range.
How long is the flexible cable?
The cable provides a 630mm extension for reaching difficult areas.
Does the locking mechanism require manual release?
Yes, once the hose is installed, you must manually disengage the locking latch on the handle to allow the clamp to snap back into position.
Troubleshooting
Pliers are difficult to squeeze open
Check if the cable has developed any sharp bends or kinks that are causing internal friction.
Clamp slips out of the jaws
Ensure the jaws are fully seated on the clamp tabs and verify the clamp diameter falls within the 18mm-54mm range.
Locking mechanism won't engage
Inspect the ratchet teeth on the handle for debris and clean with a wire brush if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers do not require complex assembly; simply ensure the flexible cable is free of sharp kinks before use. They are fully compatible with self-tightening style hose clamps commonly found in automotive cooling and fuel systems.
To maintain the tool:
- Inspection: Periodically check the cable housing for signs of wear or fraying.
- Lubrication: Apply a light machine oil to the cable and pivot points occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent rust on the metal head components and keep the cable from being crushed under heavy equipment.
