The Lisle 17100 Adjustable Flat Hose Clamp Pliers are designed for efficient removal and installation of flat band hose clamps commonly found on heater and radiator hoses. These professional-grade pliers feature adjustable tips that screw in and out to accommodate all clamp sizes, making them versatile for various automotive cooling system applications.

Key Features:

• Adjustable tips screw in and out to fit all flat band clamp sizes
• Ratcheting lock mechanism holds clamps open for hands-free operation
• Interchangeable tips accommodate different clamp styles and applications
• Offset jaw design provides access in tight, hard-to-reach engine compartment areas
