Pliers AWTools AW17270, weight 320 g, pack of 3

AWTools AW17270 pliers set contains three individual hose pliers, each weighing 320 g, designed for gripping, clamping and temporarily sealing flexible hoses during maintenance and repair tasks. The pliers are made of durable, heat-resistant plastic and feature long rounded clamping jaws that minimise the risk of damaging internal hose linings. The set is supplied as a pack of three sizes to cover a range of hose diameters commonly found in automotive, workshop and household applications.

Advantages

The long rounded jaws provide secure clamping while reducing pressure points on soft hose materials. A grooved handle improves grip and control during use, and an adjustable locking mechanism allows the pliers to hold a selected clamping position without continuous manual pressure. The heat-resistant plastic construction reduces the risk of corrosion and is non-marring compared with metal alternatives, making the pliers suitable for repeated use on fuel, coolant and brake hoses.

Suitable for

• Clamping fuel hoses during repairs and component replacement
• Temporarily sealing coolant and radiator hoses for fluid maintenance
• Blocking flexible hoses when performing brake system work
• Workshop and garage general hose handling and maintenance
• Household plumbing tasks involving soft or flexible tubing

Key specifications

• Set composition: 3 pliers sized for different hose diameters
• Pliers dimensions (clamping ranges): 6.3–19.0 mm, 12.5–32.0 mm, 19.0–57.0 mm
• Individual weight: 320 g per plier
• Material: heat-resistant, durable plastic
• Handle: grooved for improved grip
• Jaws: long, rounded design to protect hose linings
• Feature: adjustable locking mechanism for hands-free clamping

How to use

Select the plier size that best matches the hose diameter and position the rounded jaws around the hose at a point that will prevent fluid flow without stressing hose fittings. Squeeze the handles until the desired clamping pressure is reached and engage the adjustable locking mechanism to maintain the clamp. Release the lock and gradually open the jaws to restore normal hose function. Use steady, controlled force and avoid levering against sharp edges to prevent accidental damage to the tool or hose.

Usage recommendations

Before use, verify that the plier size is appropriate for the hose to avoid over-compression. Do not expose the pliers to open flame or temperatures beyond typical engine bay conditions. After exposure to fluids, clean and dry the pliers; inspect jaws and locking mechanism for wear and replace the tool if deformation or cracking is found.
