The Mueller-Kueps Hose Clamp Plier Kit, No. 500 035, features a new head design for multi-angle gripping. The waffle head allows users to grip the hose clamp from almost any direction. A ratchet lock keeps the clamp open for handsfree operation. Two styles allow the user to reach most hose clamps that need to be removed. The pliers are constructed from steel and have a cushioned hand grip.
