The Hose Clamp Retainer Tab, No. HCRT1, from VIM Tools is designed to hold open spring clamps, eliminating the need for a specialty hose clamp plier. This tool makes removing and installing hoses that have a spring clamp much easier and faster because it frees up the user's hands to remove the hoses, according to VIM. The tool is designed with a magnet on the back to keep it in place on the vehicle under hood area, or inside a toolbox or roll cart.
