The Lisle Corporation Curved and Straight Hose Clamp Pliers, Nos. 17460 and 17480, feature a cross-cut tip design to grip most hose clamps from multiple angles. A ratcheting lock mechanism holds the clamps in an open position for hands-free use. Both tools also offer dual material grips for comfort. The 17460 has an ergonomic curved design making pliers easy to use in hard-to-reach areas.
