Lightweight Alternative to These Pinchoffs

[jeepinerdeep]

Anyone have any great lightweight alternatives to these pinch off pliers? I'd like them to work as well as these for larger heater hose but much lighter.

New employer, no more gang box, pelican only, trying to go on a diet. A pair of these is a full 1.5 lbs.

I’ve seen plastic pinch offs. I’m not sure if they will work for you or not though.

Yeah I see those a plenty, but I don't know if they would be up to the task either. Trouble is those metal ones work great, they just weigh alot.

I agree, I have the metal ones and really like them. Hope you find what your looking for.

the large plastic pinch offs I have (they're from Sears, 20 years ago) work on 5/8"heater hose. They'd go bigger, I don't know how much bigger they'd work.

These work great!!! The set I have was made in Australia but, who knows who makes them or where these days. Mine are more like nylon than plastic.

I came across these Titans that have 90 degree offset jaws that look handy but, I have no experience with them.
