Product Information
Full details
The Facom DM.25 Self Tightening Slip Joint Hose Clamp Pliers are designed for professional automotive technicians, service engineers, and mechanics who require a reliable tool for fluid system maintenance. These pliers provide the key benefit of a self-tightening mechanism that secures clamps firmly during removal or installation, significantly reducing slippage and improving workflow efficiency in tight spaces; however, users should note that they are specifically engineered for hose clamps and are not a replacement for general-purpose gripping pliers.

FAQs
Are these pliers suitable for large coolant hose clamps?
Yes, the slip joint design allows the pliers to be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of hose clamps typically found in cooling systems.
Can I use these on fuel lines?
Yes, these pliers are designed to safely handle fuel line clamps, providing the control necessary to prevent damage.
Do I need to calibrate the tool?
No, the DM.25 does not require calibration. It is a manual tool that relies on mechanical adjustment.
What is the primary benefit of the self-tightening feature?
The self-tightening feature maintains pressure on the clamp automatically, which prevents the clamp from slipping or releasing unexpectedly during work.
Can I use these for general wire cutting?
No, these are specialized hose clamp pliers and are not intended for cutting wire or other heavy-duty gripping tasks.
How should I store these pliers?
Store them in a clean, dry toolbox. Ensure the jaws are closed and apply a light coat of oil if storing for long periods in humid climates.
Troubleshooting
Pliers jaws not locking firmly on the clamp
Verify that the slip joint is set to the correct position for the clamp size and ensure the tool is held at the appropriate angle.
Stiff movement in the pivot joint
Clean any accumulated dirt or grease from the joint and apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot bolt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Facom DM.25 is a ready-to-use tool requiring no complex assembly or calibration. To ensure longevity, keep the pliers free of excessive debris and grit, which can affect the slip joint mechanism. A light application of machine oil to the pivot point periodically will ensure the jaws continue to operate smoothly. When storing, ensure the tool is kept in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion, and avoid using the pliers on oversized clamps that exceed their maximum jaw capacity, as this can strain the internal spring or locking mechanism.
