Mayhew Tools 28680-MAI Hose Clamp Pliers – Flexible Cable, Fits Clamps Up To 2 Inches

The Mayhew 28680-MAI hose clamp pliers are designed to reach tight spaces in engine bays, using a flexible cable that guides the jaw to clamps you might otherwise struggle to access. This agility helps you position the tool precisely where you need it, reducing strain and improving control during maintenance tasks.

The tool features a pivoting jaw that grabs typical automotive hose clamps up to 2 inches in diameter, enabling confident loosening and removal without disturbing surrounding hoses. A smooth ratchet lock paired with a slide guide provides steady tension so you can work at a comfortable pace, even in cramped compartments.

Designed for comfort and precision

Ergonomics matter when you spend long periods under a hood. The Mayhew pliers offer bi-material handles that feel natural in the hand and stay cool to the touch, helping you maintain grip and cadence as you work. The overall length of 13.25 inches combined with a modest width gives you leverage without becoming bulky for tight spotting.
