Undoing a spring clamp
Matty F wrote:
Some of the water hoses in my car are clipped on with spring clamps. I want to unclip them to replace the hoses but they are inaccessible and I can't use pliers or vicegrips because there is no room. I can barely see the clamps so I'll have to do it by feel. I can't see a suitable tool that has a photo big enough to see how it works. I also don't want to spend 50 pounds and have it imported from across the world. I thought I might make these pliers: http://i35.tinypic.com/34jekgp.jpg The spring clip is red and is about 15mm in diameter. Any other ideas? A pair of pincers (as used to pull nails out of wood) |
