Oh boy... new tools!!!

[Tripper]

Ok, I admit it... I love tools & I love gettin' new tools! I bought these butt welding clamps @ Harbor Freight for weldin' my top back on ($4.99 for a set of 8) & these are the koolest hose clamps I have ever seen so... I had to have some. I've always used an old pair of vice grips or whatever for rubber fuel lines, radiator hoses etc but... these ROCK!!! Just don't try them out on u're own fingers because... u have to clamp them even tighter to make them release. DON'T ask me how I know!!!

Don't look for the kool green hose clamps @ HF. My shop had them & ordered me a set from the tool truck... $35 for the set of 3 but they work like a dream!!!

Like you, I have always used visegrips, now you have to go all HIGH TECH on us here.

Untill now, vise grips were fine for me, too. Now look what you've done, Tripper. Gotta go out and get me a set of them hose clamps.

i want a set too! i've never been able to bring myself to buy some though, i only think about it when i'm cursing about the coolant going everywhere and i'm trying to find the vise grips.

Hose clamps!

Like most of you... vice grips had always been just fine but one day I had my car in the shop & I can't remember exactly why... but I had some leak & they pulled these puppies out & clamped the lower radiator hose... WHOA... I had to have 'um!!! They're TurtleJaws by Matco Tools part # LCS3 & really are awesome... just don't try 'um out on u're own digits!!! ; - >
