Subject:      Use These Spring Clamp Pliers?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all.


In tackling the cooling system of my '88 Westy (WBX), I did what I
"shouldn't" by using a large set of adjustable pliers to slide the
spring clamps down each hose. Not all are removed yet.


This:  http://www.kmstools.com/knipex-spring-clamp-pliers-93102


looks like an interesting alternative; the grips in jaw can be
rotated. Certainly a recognized brand name.


Anyone used the above type of tool for VW spring clamps?


They're pricier than these:

though I wonder if they would open up the large clamps far enough.


Neil.
