1969Mk3Spitfire Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 The problem with now owing a “modern” car (it’s 35 years old) is that not all hoses are held in place by the veritable Jubilee clip. I’m hence in need of a pair of hose clip pliers for the likes of the hose shown in the picture. A quick Google search shows product ranging in price from a fiver to a small mortgage. For occasional use, any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I have a cheapo pair they work well but not used much these days same a cheapo pair for the ones for some modern sort of removable Fuel line clips Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I have a joggling tool (essentially a pair of mole grips with smooth, wide, stepped jaws) which work quite well for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 If that's all (a fiver or so) then a cheap tool for occasional use may be the best bet. You need wide-mouthed pliers, so these also work but make sure the jaws are wide enough to grip the entire width of the hose clip, so they won't fly off: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352655410084?epid=1847429347&hash=item521be683a4:g:uKUAAOSwhvFZDDxx&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4DZHCnR3LNXxLooCqW37c7pmL%2F7TsqOYXOvfNHIUMk4znhX53IJO5%2F9LBChMSL7l7pVOZj2mgRxx7Vzyd8R8Wr%2B3BAfcznQAYserY7hzG5WcZI8DPySqUdbdEsyyLB0xe35RErWQQiGe2rTgAgCM8IvlX7oCbKt%2Bt13X8tfab8kGoYypjwY1LCoDbwM0xDV9EbMlBGBL%2Fc4Yxgnf8yuh8%2F%2BYtEbTVs9lb8oHzXLhxTbFQvaEZkLl1DeJAlWMieX2HQI3%2FbLc7UwcVMiyHsBZtxHr5KMfObGaRcUDmE7qqqZs|tkp%3ABk9SR6LAsJLzYA https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142370925494?epid=25015075043&hash=item2125f7ebb6:g:qicAAOSwqDha4b9h&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4HmRKlwyd%2Bs%2Bf7hulfErFJ69bGt%2FolPEmac7Nibh1epvIHDnKjZhebslEB8wvPN0qTxbFJv2soTlHEo2pCWShxCxaZu35Wepksao8ux8vPU5ZczdXNdCvj6Oz9Ex%2BgcvQxg91wTVDs1Y1K6ibnKgWKiqqeTNZtTuqYrHkNaB2F4Woreq3puqON3JpVrxqdhAHQ7r60R5mvOhoM0wsGjg5SQ7u2DfgR8pH7M%2Fts%2BSN8ig4GQNeHb3C%2B3c01v8LufUPiP27BoDqadPHVquygEgZSQLsQ7mTTZrnOi%2BYo6t9KU%2F|tkp%3ABk9SR6akt5LzYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjit Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I've never had any issues using a pair of standard pliers on that type of clip (there are a couple on/around the fuel tank of at least the Mk IV/1500 Spitfire). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I`ve so far "got away" with using these. They are actually Wire/Cable cutters. But more than wide enough?. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 think we all have pliers that suit certain jobs /favourites etc together with the blood blisters from when things decide to fly off unexpectedly and you pinch a finger Ha ! i have an old pair ground to hold the rear shoe spring caps Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
