The AB Tools AV110 Straight Hose Clamp Pliers are designed for automotive mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable tool for managing constant tension, tag, and wire-type hose clamps. The primary benefit is the combination of a swivel jaw and a ratchet locking mechanism, which simplifies the removal and installation of clamps in difficult, cramped engine bays. However, users should be aware that while the 8-1/2 inch length is excellent for general automotive use, it may be too large for extremely tight specialty machinery or undersized small engine compartments.

These are designed for constant tension, tag, and wire-type clamps. They may not have the capacity for extra-large heavy-duty industrial spring clamps.
These are primarily designed for metal hose clamps; using them on plastic may result in damage to the plastic if the jaws grip too aggressively.
The total length is 8-1/2 inches (220mm).
No, the integrated ratchet locking mechanism allows you to release your grip once the clamp is compressed.
The handles feature a rubber coating for grip and comfort, but they are not certified for electrical insulation. Do not use them on live electrical components.
Check the ratchet teeth for debris or built-up grease; clean with a degreaser and apply a thin layer of lubricant.
Ensure the cross slot is correctly seated on the clamp ears and that the pliers are held perpendicular to the hose connection.
The AV110 pliers are ready for use out of the box with no assembly required. They are compatible with most standard automotive constant tension, tag, and wire-type hose clamps. To maintain the tool: 1. Wipe clean of oil and grease after use to ensure the ratchet teeth remain clear of debris. 2. Periodically apply a light drop of machine oil to the pivot point and the ratchet mechanism to maintain smooth movement. 3. Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent rust on the A3 steel head.
