The Lisle Long Reach Hose Clamp Pliers, Nos. 17000 and 17370, are designed with cross-cut tips to grip most hose clamps from multiple angles. The ratcheting lock mechanism holds the clamp in an open position for handsfree use. The pliers feature dual material grips for improved comfort. The overall tool length of 17" for both hand tools allow for extra long reach. 17370 has 35-degree angled tips for hard-to-reach hoses.
