Pliers for Click-Type Hose Clips

Brief Overview

These specialist pliers are engineered specifically for the installation and removal of click-type (CLICK and CLICK-R) retaining clips on multi-use hose assemblies. The machined jaw inserts feature stepped notches and a hooked engagement tip that compress and release clips with controlled force, eliminating damage to the clip or hose. Whether you stock tools for hydraulic technicians, automotive shops, or industrial maintenance teams, this purpose-built design reduces service time and repeat callbacks. Pair these with self-clamping hose clip pliers and universal hose clip removal tools to offer comprehensive clip-handling solutions to your customers.

Key Features

• Stepped jaw inserts – Precision-machined silver contact faces with matching profiles for secure clip engagement
• Hooked engagement tip – Small curved recess engages click-style clips without slipping
• Dual-action design – Loosens clips for removal and re-tightens during reassembly
• Ergonomic blue handles – Curved, plastic-coated grips reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use
• Central rivet pivot – Robust construction withstands regular professional use
• Black metal body – Durable painted finish resists corrosion in workshop environments

Why This Matters for Your Business

Service Efficiency:
Technicians complete clip work faster with a tool designed for the specific task. No fumbling with general-purpose pliers or improvised methods—just grab the right tool and execute.

Damage Prevention:
Stepped jaw geometry prevents cam-out and rounding of clip edges. Fewer damaged clips mean less customer frustration and no unexpected material costs.

Repeat Orders:
A single pair is often insufficient in a busy shop. Mechanics want backup tools and spares. Position these as essential consumables in service kits.

Margin Opportunity:
This is a specialty tool with limited distribution. Customers pay a premium for precision, and your margin reflects that specialization.

What Your Customers Will Experience

A technician grabs these pliers, positions the jaw around a click-type clip, and compresses it with controlled pressure. The hooked tip engages the clip's lock mechanism while the stepped notches prevent slipping. The clip releases smoothly—no bent edges, no wasted time hunting for a replacement. On reassembly, the same tool retightens the clip to the correct tension. Professional work, every time.

Stock Recommendation

Offer this as a standalone tool and as part of broader hose clip management kits. Mechanics working on hydraulic systems, air lines, or cooling circuits will recognize the value immediately. Stock depth in this category drives customer loyalty and repeat orders.
