Description

Socket for Clamp Ties 3-Point

Brief Overview

This is a specialized double-sided socket engineered specifically for installing and dismounting three-point clamp ties found on European vehicles (Opel, Renault, Smart, PSA, Mercedes, and similar). The internal three-lobed recess engages the clamp tie head precisely, eliminating cam-out and rounding damage. Integrated detent pins lock the socket firmly in place during installation and removal—critical for maintaining control in confined engine compartments. If you work with these clamp systems regularly, you'll need dedicated hose clip removal tools and this socket to handle the full range of fastening methods.

Key Features

  • Double-ended design: Both ends feature a 3-point internal recess for versatility in tight installations
  • Integrated locking pins: Prevents accidental socket slip-off during high-torque operations
  • Compact dimensions: 30mm length enables access in restricted areas (air inlet hoses, emission lines, cooling systems)
  • Cr-V steel construction: Impact-rated material withstands repetitive installation/removal cycles
  • 11mm hex drive: Fits standard 3/8-inch drive ratchets and impact wrenches
  • Clamp compatibility: Designed for 30–45mm and 60–80mm band diameters
  • Professional finish: Dark phosphate/black-oxide coating resists corrosion and inspection wear

Why This Matters for Your Business

Specialization = Higher Margins: Three-point clamp ties are non-standard fasteners. Customers cannot use conventional sockets—they need this tool. Stock it, and you become the go-to supplier for European vehicle service departments.

Repeat Sales Potential: Garages that work on PSA, Renault, Opel, and Mercedes models encounter these clamps regularly. Once a shop invests in the correct tooling, they'll reorder related accessories like self-clamping hose clip tools to round out their fastening kit.

Technical Legitimacy: The integrated locking pins and dual-ended design eliminate guesswork. Professional mechanics recognize quality tooling immediately, raising confidence in your catalog.

Professional Value Statement

This socket is a non-negotiable tool for any shop servicing modern European vehicles. The 3-point clamp tie design is standard across multiple manufacturers, and without the correct socket, removal requires destructive methods (cutting or prying). That translates to customer dissatisfaction and repeat warranty work. Stock this socket, and your technicians can handle these jobs quickly and professionally. The dual-ended design and compact form factor make it an essential addition to any impact socket set targeting European automotive service.
