The AT402 45-degree angled hose clamp plier set is designed for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who frequently work on fuel and coolant systems in tight, restricted engine bays. Its primary benefit is the combination of a 45-degree angled head and interchangeable swivel jaws, which allow for seamless operation in cramped spaces where standard pliers fail. One caveat to keep in mind is that while this tool covers a wide range of ring-type, flat-band, tag, and wire-type clamps, it is specifically engineered for automotive spring clips and may not be compatible with heavy-duty industrial non-spring clamps.

It is designed for most ring, flat band, tag, and wire-type spring clamps, but it is not intended for non-spring style worm-gear clamps.
It is designed for automotive fuel and coolant lines, but it can be used for any small-scale spring clamp task that matches the jaw specifications.
The jaws are interchangeable via a simple release mechanism in the plier head; consult the layout in your storage box to identify the correct set.
Yes, the rubber handles are designed for use in workshop environments, though they should be wiped clean after contact with grease or oil.
The total length of the tool is 225mm.
The box is designed for organization and transport, but it is not sealed against water ingress.
Ensure the pin or mounting mechanism for the jaw is fully snapped into place.
Check the ratchet teeth for debris or buildup; clean with a wire brush if necessary.
To set up the tool, select the appropriate jaw attachment for the clamp type you are working on and secure it into the plier head. Ensure the hinge points are properly seated before applying force. This tool is compatible with standard fuel and coolant pipe spring clips. To ensure longevity, keep the ratchet mechanism free of grit and debris by occasionally wiping it down with a clean shop rag. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot points to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion, especially if the tool is stored in a humid garage environment.
