45-Degree Hose Clamp Pliers
The Mag-Mate PLC220 is a specialised hand tool for gripping and releasing hose clamps in tight engine bays. Its 45-degree jaw angle lets technicians reach clamps that straight pliers cannot access. The tool suits professional mechanics and DIY owners working on cooling and vacuum lines.
Heavy-Duty Steel With Locking Pawl
Jaws are forged from heavy-duty steel and open to a maximum of 2-1/2 inches to fit common clamp sizes. A finger-tip locking pawl holds the jaws in position so the user can apply steady force without squeezing continuously. The design relies on manual leverage rather than a ratchet mechanism.
Red Handles For Visibility
Red handle grips make the pliers easy to spot inside a crowded toolbox or on a workshop bench. The 45-degree bend reduces wrist strain when working at awkward angles under the bonnet. No additional accessories or replacement parts are included with the tool.
