Does anyone make hose pliers large enough for the filler neck hose?

[SnowDrifter]

I just replaced all the hoses... I should have picked up either the pliers or cable type clamp tool. I like the cable approach - which make do you recommend? I'm thinking of getting one for the next time - in 5 years or so. Thanks.

Yep I have the same ones that Blackcar posted. Well... Different brand. But same build house. Once you get a proper set, you'll stop fearing, and start loving constant tension clamps

I purchased these and worked great especially in tight spaces. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Durable-Hose-Clamp-Pliers-Auto-Repair-Tool-Swivel-Flat-Band-for-Removal-and-Installation/231580027?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=3554&adid=22222222222289734383&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=o&wl2=c&wl3=74698173469538&wl4=pla-4578297725465946&wl5=&wl6=&wl7=&wl10=Walmart&wl11=Online&wl12=231580027_10000003628&wl14=hose clamp tool&veh=sem&gclid=5a3755119d8c134cda503737a8349012&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=5a3755119d8c134cda503737a8349012

They don't; it's shipped by a third party. Buyer beware.

Third party sellers can be.... Interesting....

There was that time I ordered some popcorn seasoning and received a 60lb piece of furniture

as noted above, buying off of walmart.com will result in
1. not in stock (even if it say's "in-stock"
2. not stock order delayed
3 not in stock, refunded
4 you might get it, eventually......
5 what you receive might not quite be as expected
bottom line if you want to order from walmart, order early and cross your fingers.

You can buy same tool anywhere you want this is best price at time I could find and free shipping if you buy with credit card and there is any problem call and file complaint so easy. Jez just a tool you can buy anywhere.

Guy's, there's 2 different things being talked about here.

1, the OP was talking about hose pliers, which grip the hose all the way around to help remove it from the nipple.

2, the hose spring clamp tool, which makes installing and removing spring clamps easy.

I don't know why everybody is talking about #2, when the post is about #1, lol

I could have described wrongly. The clamps I'm thinking of are the spring clamps that go around e.g. coolant hoses. They typically have a locking feature that allows them to be locked open. Be careful when you let them go. Keep your fingers out of the way.

My fault - I posted in the wrong hose-pliers thread.
