Sweet . That's the one. they say 'hose' on one side...so one jaw is designed more to grab into the metal tube you are pushing the hoseoff of. ( which I now see it says there ) Nice price too. Pusher-on .. you're not trying to push a dry rubber hose onto anything I hope. Always some lube . I use WD-40 constantly for that sort of thing .. and recently got some 'Sil-Glyde' lubricating compounds ..for 'brake parts, trunk seals, weather stripping' .. I use it on rubber hoses sometimes too. WD-40 though ..a wonderful universal lubricant .. not to replace grease or oil .. but to make things move nicely, or slide, or to displace water. If I had to name just two products to work on cars with , it would be one of them. How theworld worked before WD I just can't imagine. Goose grease maybe. working on vehicles is so fun and rewarding.
