I'm thinking of buying these "cable operated hose clamp pliers" from Sears.... Has anyone used them? What do you think? I like the idea that you use a cable to grab the clamp and the squeeze handles are a foot or two away...seems useful in cramped world of waterboxers and the 150 or so hose clamps the cooling system uses.... (Sorry David, Sears in the U.S. stocks them, but I doubt Sears Canada does. --- Last time I was at a Sears in Canada their tool selection sucked big time, except for their selection of Robertson screwdrivers which Sears doesn't carry in the U.S.) |
