Spring hose clamps are a part of my own evolution as a mechanic. I started off hating them and replaced countless ones with worm gear hose clamps. It got so that I was buying worm gear clamps by the box to keep in stock at all times. Then I bought the proper tools, including the particular one shown above, and realized the value of constant tension spring type clamps. Now, I am going the other way and stocking up on springs clamps and throwing away worm gear clamps.

But, then again, I also used to build battery cables with those bolt on ends too.

Older and wiser maybe ? I'd like to think so.

I typed "remote hose clamp tool" into Amazon with good results.  Now I can send that to someone who asks what I want for the holidays because I "already have all the tools".  Well apparently I don't.
