1. Snap-on Remote Hose Clamp Pliers Offering increased accessibility and comfort, along with infinite locking positions for a wide range of hose clamp sizes and styles, the new Snap-on® Remote Hose Clamp Pliers (SHCP2) make a great addition to any toolbox. Low constant operating force applied to the wide, comfortable ergonomic pistol grip results in reduced effort and less hand fatigue during operation. With its longer cable, the SHCP2 provides more accessibility. Since it is f lexible over its entire length, the SHCP2 can reach in and around obstacles that "slide" style remote hose clamp pliers cannot.
