It’s the dumbest thing where the hardest part of replacing a radiator is the hose clamp being in an akward position
Exactly 😂
Yes i had the same issue RIGHT NOW!
@@user-xk5hv3ff9b super frustrating
Yes you are correct sir!
I'm a woman wanting to learn how to clamp a dryer hose, however I just learn something new. Thanks
Thanks for the info 👌🏻
These hose clamps are the Only ones you should use for Engine Compartment or when temperature changes are extreme.
You are so right and I have heard this from different peaople,this sprin g clamps are said to react to different temperature change than the screwed type.I think what really drives people crazy is how it snaps which ofcourse is the charasteristic of what makes it better,afterall there are different tools out there that makes these spring clamps easy to handle.The only issue that I am having is just to know their different sizes to know what to ask for at the parts store or know what to look for if buying online.
@@abibodlogistics I bought constant tensions for a 1.75 OD hose from advance the one labeled 1.75" too small, the 2.0" too loose ordered some off ebay they fit but not enough clamping force all leaked. so, the 4th time doing the job. an "easy" job can turn into a real pita
never forget eye pro when working with constant tension clamps, you'll shoot your eye out kid!
Car manufacturers use those constant tension spring clamps because they don't leak like screw clamps they keep constant tension on a pipe that heats up and cools down expands or shrinks. They are hard to work with i agree.
They also like to use them cause they are cheap and quick to install. And yes can be very difficult to work with
No i don't think so ..they use them because they are easy to install...and at the time the engine isn't fully assembled so they is a lot of room to move about...but during normal service..they are a nightmare
@@wanjevi Paul is correct, you can verify with other comments and other info on the web, the spring clamps adjust to heat, the screw type clamps will leak sooner or later. Not preaching! I didn't know this until recently, when I put the engine back together.
Thank you for this video. Wish I watched it earlier today.
Changed my radiator hose for the first time and wasnt ready for those clamps to be so hard to squeeze. Dont lose grip theyll fly out lol
amazing
Bust a radiator hose on the back of my sled has the first clamp on it Got me throwing a tantrum like a little kid trying to get it off😂😂
Thanks a million for this wonderful video,the reason why it looks simple is that people are able to get it as you desribed it and they are able to get it done, myself inclusive.Truth be told this video is helpful. Do you have any special method to take off a radiator hose that is stocked and does not want to come off. Squeeze/spring clamps.
…spent a few hours on a squeeze clamp - 8th gen civic transmission cooler in-line filter change - i just could not get that dirty bastard squeeze-clamp off - difficult location - good video - this is the tool i needed.
Aight, I want this for Christmas 👀
Thank you
Thx
“Squoze” 😂😂😂
Right always
Dude your intro beat is so sweet take it from an old school 80's DJ.
How do use if 90 degree angle room space with this tools ????
Skwoze.
Boy said “Skwoze”.
I got a squeeze clamp on a EVAP hose that is between the firewall and the throttle body, so there is no room horozontally. Then I have throttle body straight above the squeeze clamp exactly on the part where I should squeeze, there is maybe a matchstick space there so I am really out of ideas how to get it out 😅
I have a similar problem with pressure clamp on lower radiator hose on 2012 Nissan Maxima. Don't know how in the world to remove the clamp! No room....
Thanks for this useful video. Please post a video on how to remove Squeeze clamp.
Got one on the way now, my knuckles thank you
Ahh squeeze clamps!!!!!!
I love ur tiktoks
thanks!
The Bane of my existence is the squeeze clamp
Had one rust and fall apart. Dumped 60 bucks worth of coolant out.
I physically felt this
They put squeeze clamps in tight positions and when it turns its over. I need help🙏
The spring clamps keep a seal as the rubber softens and compresses over time.
Correct . They’re also a spring design to allow for heat expansion and contraction which a jubilee clamp doesn’t allow for. That’s why they’re fitted to hoses .👍
And yet Jubilee clips have held hoses for many decades ...
90 degree long reach needle nose are perfect
Where can I get that tool ? And what exactly is it called again..I've always had too use vise grips and its still a pain in the butt !
They will always be a pain in the butt haha if you search (24" flexible hose clamp pliers) it should come up on Amazon! Autozone sells a similar item but Amazon is cheaper I think
Nice tool but not everyone has access are resources for such ive been trying to remove a hose with a factory clamp for days no luck,im looking for a conventional every guy tool, basic dat works
Me two
Most ignorant people hate constant tension spring clamps.
What a positive comment to start a new week. Lol
August 11th 2022 thanks
without this special tool
Thanks in advance
i came here for the clip remover tool. i agree. top tool! okay, what are those chrome plated plier things visible, slightly out of focus beneath the red cable at 1:23?
Those are a special old ring installation tool. For putting rings on pistons without bending them
@@Izaiah_J , thanks for that. can you tell me the brand name. i'd like to do some research on them. thanks again.
@@vsvnrg3263 unfortunately I can't see any markings on them sorry no names or numbers either
I don't have one of those tools I hate these clamps so bad is am having to try and get one of because we didn't add antifreeze are putting my water pump on now is 15 degrees and I'm out here trying to get it off and of course it's dark and cold and turned the wrong way I'm just saying when I get it off I'm slinging it across the yard and putting a good clamp on it so help me
Two hours and counting OMG
The reason they re made of spring steel is they maintain uniform clamping pressure over time unlike screw clamps.They do not need for you to turn any screw to make sure they are still tight
This true
To me they don't look like they clamp tight enough. I have had a Bugga of a day with these clamps, doing radiator hoses, 😅 I used soapy water and vice grips to put them on, but had to remove the belly pan and other hoses. Getting the old one off was more destructive and would have made a good video. 😅😂😂
How much is that blue point clamp?
Because blue point is off brand Snap-on its about 70 i believe Snap-on had a good one aswell but its like 110
Using vice grips and murdering my hands...now i see this vid! Buying this tomorrow
I'm currently wrestling with a clamp like this that I can't get off even with the tabs squeezed all the way. I might have to cut it off with a dremel or something.
They lock open when you compress them all the way past the little perpendicular tab.
I agree with everyone here who hates these clamps lol.
I need something like this for my washer machine hose. I can't put these fckrs back on now that I unclogged the hose.🥴
2:49 dont gotta keep it squoze
Squoze is a correct conjugation of the verb. : )
What Brand and Model Specifically Do use in the Video?
I used the bluepoint brand. Not sure exactly of the model number
@@Izaiah_J looks like a Solid tool
@@Izaiah_J Thank you
The tool in the video is a Snap-on shcp1a now sold as shcp1b
@@stryder617 Thank you
How are those pneumatic?
No idea that's just what they named it 🤷 didn't make sense to me either
@@Izaiah_J They're life savers know that. I hate when you get a 20 year old car in and all the plastic is dry rotted. Its impossible to work on with breaking something.
Buy this or any of the other tools, but USE SPRING CLAMPS!
"these ones"
myself and a lot of friends call them "F'ing Jesus" clamps, because well then they fly off and zing past your head at mach 2 speed that is exactly what you say😂 I use a pair of locking pliers which works also gets the job done
That's a really good name for them 🤣🤣
Exactly I hate those
I hate them they hurt me several time...always in the tightness of place where u can't reach then...i hate them
elastic hose clamps are best, screw ones are junk...
Riiiight 😂
Well it depends. If it’s a heater hose, with rubber and temperature changes changing it’s thickness, then elastic spring clamps are best. Screw clamps are cool for other uses.
@@Sinjinator You make a good comment out here, (mine was more like a "reverse citation" from video).
In automotive most of time you put hoses clamps on engine cooling and interior heating and those comes on all cars default with elastic clamps. So the screw ones as you mention are for other purposes.
Pneumatic suggests they are air operated which these clearly aren't
I didnt name them 🤷🏻 thats just on of the things they are called
sorry young guy but screw clamps leak or you could over tighten them
Really anything can leak. All you can do is go from experience. And from everything I have done I have never had one leak yet. Not to say it won't happen. I've had more trouble with oem clamps that's why I use the screw clamps
you could also damage parts since screw clamps don't expand and contract like the spring type, best to use the proper one
@@banjoboy01 it definitely "could" but again I've had success with them this far. No need to change how you do something if its working out
@@Izaiah_J until it doesn't work, we have big temperature extremes here in Alberta, brutal cold winters and heatwave summers, ouch
I agree these clamps are created by the devil himself.
Never use an old school hose clamp on plastic.. the smart clamps keep constant pressure during thermal expansion... your asking for problems lil one
Squoze
Dear Mr K Dilkington
Who makes that tool
The amazon one is shit.
Blue point
you do realize those are what is called (constant tension clamps)... engineers use them for a reason, you know this right?
Yes I do. I understand how they work and the theory behind them. However I have seen countless times as a mechanic everyday of these clamps not holding correctly or hard enough. I have had a lot better luck with the worm clamps for a lot of different reasons
This video is just one man's opinion based on experience 👌🏻
@@Izaiah_J I am a master tech myself, if they are not holding for you, then it’s your own fault, either you are using the wrong clamp size, using an old worn out, sprung tension clamp, did not place the clamp close enough to the existing witness marks on the old hose, or you are simply using a cheap aftermarket brand hose and/or clamp. Worm clamps should not be used ever on hoses in this type environment because they are solid and do not expand and contract with the hot and cold cycles and therefor I have seen work clamps completely tear into and destroy hoses and cause leaks. If constant tension drives you nuts then you don’t understand the science behind them and don’t have the right tools to use on them. I’d hate them to and did years ago before the proper tools came out. Now grow up and learn proper technician techniques, techs that use worm clamps on these hoses don’t belong near any cars or be trusted.
@@caseyschulze thank you for your input. I'm glad the tension clamps have worked well for you. As I said I do understand how they work. And how they are theoretically better and this is one man's opinion. Based on his experience. Its unfortunate you feel the need to put me down by telling me to grow up. Alas that is your opinion and I respectfully disagree. I wish you a good rest of your day sir
@@Izaiah_J conveniently you fail to address the fact that worm clamps will tear into the hose over time…. Guess you don’t care about that part?
