Where do you get them for 3.99?  Cromwell have them at £6.78.

Either way if they do the job on those clips its got to be worth it.

hi there, I read your post last night walking round the pound shop guess what I come across ?!?!? a set of hose clip pliers with 4 diffrent heads, thinking I read that last night, may need them one day ! so a pound well spent,

In case anyone wants to know, it was a poundland (blue shop) I know there's one in st helens (where I was) and one in warrington if anyone lives close by them

Can I second the idea of using Vise Grips to get the clips off. They made the job very easy, as you can leave them clipped on while getting the clip of the spigot.

Mole grips are fine but sometimes too big to get into those awkward places. I'm trying to replace my HBV just now and after 2 hours of cursing and gashed knuckles, made the trip to Halfrauds and paid the £14  >:(  for the right tool - makes life a lot easier -except now its raining and too dark to finish the job.

Time for a beer then.

Several different types here (Clic, Ear, Earless, Norma....).   Can anyone advise which are suitable for the GM type clips please?
Locking facility would be desirable.
