The Hose Clamp Compressor is designed to help technicians remove and install hose and spring clamps in hard-to-reach areas.

Application

The Hose Clamp Compressor is designed to help technicians remove and install hose and spring clamps in hard-to-reach areas. 

Features and benefits 

  • A 360-degree clamping jaw and flexible cable provide the technician with a multi-faceted tool
  • Three different types of jaws are available which cover most of the current market in terms of hose and spring clamps. This means there is no need to purchase multiple hose clamp pliers.
  • A smooth step-less locking mechanism keeps the jaws positioned which frees up the technician's hands and allows them to work on the hose or spring clamp without losing grip. 

Selling points 

  • Offers technicians the ability to clamp most available hose or spring clamps.
  • It is a lightweight and easy-to-use tool with little to no learning curve.
  • The flexibility of the Hose Clamp Compressor allows technicians to access hard-to-reach areas with the ability to work handsfree if necessary.
  • A U.S. patent pending ensures distributors of the exclusivity of this tool on the market.

Origin

The flexible Mueller-Kueps Hose Clamp Compressor came into being due to the fact that automotive manufacturers increasingly use hard to open spring clamps to secure hoses and a lot of those are in areas that are hard to reach by conventional hose clamp pliers.
