Hose clamp pliers

[jake wade]

I need some suggestions for a good set of pliers to use for removing/installing the spring type hose clamps commonly found on GM products.

Thank you

I'm trying to figure out what kind to get to. What I can tell you is that late model GM uses the flat band constant tension type which are also known as Mubea clamps. If you see some pliers that say they're for Corbin clamps, those are the wrong pliers for your car.
