Product Information
Full details
This 3-piece Laser Tools Spring Band Clamp Locking Tool Set (7965) is designed for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics working with fuel lines, vacuum hoses, and coolant pipes. Its key benefit is the ability to safely and securely hold open spring-type hose clips, freeing up your hands and pliers for more efficient and safer disassembly and reassembly. A minor caveat is that it requires pliers to initially open the clip, but once in place, it keeps the clip safely held.

FAQs
What types of hoses are these tools compatible with?
These tools are designed for spring-type hose clips found on fuel lines, vacuum hoses, and coolant pipes.
How many tools are included in this set?
The set includes three tools with aperture sizes of 4mm, 9mm, and 12mm.
Do I need pliers to use these tools?
Yes, you will need pliers to initially open the spring clip before inserting the locking tool. The tool then holds the clip open.
Can these tools be used to close the clamp?
No, these tools are designed solely to hold open spring-type clamps, not to open or close them.
What is the benefit of using these tools?
They safely hold spring clips open, freeing up your hands and pliers for easier and safer hose removal and installation, while reducing the risk of injury.
How should I store these tools?
It is recommended to store them in a toolbox or their original packaging to prevent loss. The eyelet can also be used to attach a string for easier retrieval.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not fit the clamp.
Ensure you are using the correct size tool for the specific spring clamp. The set includes 4mm, 9mm, and 12mm apertures.
Spring clip remains difficult to open.
The tools are designed to *hold* an opened clip, not to open it. Use appropriate pliers to gently open the spring clip first before inserting the tool.
Tool slips out of the clamp.
Ensure the tool is fully inserted into the opened clip and that the clamp is opened wide enough to securely grip the tool. Check for any obstructions or damage to the clamp or tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required for this tool. Select the tool with the aperture size that best matches the spring clamp you need to hold open.
Compatibility: This set is designed specifically for spring-type hose clips commonly found on fuel lines, vacuum pipes, and coolant hoses. It is not intended for use with other types of clamps, such as worm gear clamps or pinch clamps.
