Hose clamp pliers YATO YT-0647 — length 215 mm, jaw width 4.5 mm, jaw length 40 mm

YATO YT-0647 hose clamp pliers, 215 mm overall length, with 4.5 mm jaw width and 40 mm jaw length. These hand pliers are designed to grip and compress both external and internal hose clamps, providing controlled force for removal and installation tasks. The tool is intended for repeated use in automotive, plumbing and general workshop environments where reliable clamp manipulation is required.

Advantages

The pliers combine a compact length of 215 mm with slim 4.5 mm jaws to reach tight spaces and access clamps on hoses and tubing. A 40 mm jaw length increases contact area for secure gripping of various clamp types. The durable construction is suited to repetitive clamp removal and installation operations, and the hand tool provides precise control to reduce the risk of damage to hoses and surrounding components.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing external spring-type hose clamps on automotive cooling and fuel systems
• Compressing internal clamps and retaining rings in plumbing applications
• Workshop maintenance tasks that require controlled clamping force in confined spaces
• Servicing small-diameter hoses, tubes and flexible lines

Key specifications

• Overall length: 215 mm
• Jaw width: 4.5 mm
• Jaw length: 40 mm
• Function: grip and compress external and internal hose clamps
• Typical applications: automotive, plumbing and workshop use

How to use

Position the pliers so the jaws fully engage the clamp’s ears or tabs, then squeeze the handles to compress the clamp until it can be slid along the hose or released. For internal clamps, insert the slim jaws between the clamp and hose or into the clamp slots, and apply steady pressure to contract the clamp. Maintain a firm grip on the handles and control the motion to avoid sudden slips; if necessary, support the hose or adjacent components with your other hand while manipulating the clamp.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers on appropriate clamp sizes matching the jaw dimensions and avoid excessive force beyond normal hand pressure. Inspect the jaws before use for wear or deformation and keep them clean from grease and debris to maintain secure grip. When working near heat sources or pressurised systems, follow relevant safety procedures such as cooling the system and depressurising lines before clamp removal.
