Clip identification
« on: 22 September 2026, 19:32:24 »
Those spring clips often used on coolant hoses, eg Omega top rad main hose, what are they called?

Looks like I need to buy a set of those remote pliers to remove one that is a bit of a pig to access with normal butchery tools.


Any ideas?

I keep meaning to buy some hose clamp pliers and hose clamp flexible pliers. They would have saved me a bit of time when working on the Corsa.  :y

I was convinced I had a set of the long flexible ones, but maybe I'm thinking pre "garage incident"

I will need to get another set. Gixer's type are a little different, so I'll see how I get on with those, and report back :y
