Mayhew Tools 28680-MAI 045256286808, multi

Have a set of these I bought off the Snapon truck years ago. Wanted a set for the home shop. After getting my feelings hurt on the tool truck (inflation's a heck of a thing) I found these. Identical to my others, just way cheaper.

This tool saves even more time than I imagined. Highly recommend it to any professional automotive tech.

As a professional mechanic I tried different type, these work good and Snap-On's set are made by Mayhew. Buy these, you will be glad you did.

i used to HATE spring clamps till i bought a similar unit ages ago for my intrepid with the 2.7 and the buried hoses with spring clamps everywhere. so much frustration saved since then. this is one of those tools that takes vehicle repair from insurmountable chore to enjoyable hobby. they do wear out over time. my other branded set lasted about 20 years before the cable snapped. otherwise they're very reliable and easy to use once you figure it out. this one is built quite a bit better than my older tool. so hopefully the last one i'll need.

This tool is awesome. I had never used one of these before, but wish I had bought it years ago. I used it when I was working on a mini cooper. The task would have been almost impossible without it. It is high quality, easy to use, and EXTREMELY convenient and a MUST have for working in tight spaces.

I used this when I removed / installed some hoses, then this past week when I removed radiator hoses from an old Toyota 6 cylinder. I like that the clamp swivels, and I can attach the clamp from either direction left or right. It was very helpful, some might say overkill for radiator hoses. It worked well, except it often wouldn't open the spring clips far enough to slide them on the hoses, especially a new hose. Closing the clamp as tight as it would go (to the last notch) - the two handles were not not quite fully closed, but could be closed a little further if I had a free hand. I finally sprayed the hoses with a lot of silicon spray, and that enabled me to slide the clamps the rest of the way into place.The advantage of this tool is that it clamps on, and you don't have to worry about pliers flying off and hurting something. Also, the angles the clamp on the end of the cable are much more flexible than pliers because they can go into smaller places.Overall a good tool!

Mac charges same exact model and brand rebranded for 160, and matco warranty’s mayhew tools so that’s a no brainer!

Been using in a professional setting and am very happy with the workmanship and sturdiness of the tool. Best hose clamp tool without paying the tool truck price but it's still better than the ones on all the trucks.
