Snap on master line clamp set

[Jon.R]

Does anyone have this set ? I just ordered it and wanted to see how everyone likes it . I know it just came out not long ago , I figured it would be good for me with brake lines on the school bus fleet I work on . Up here in Canada with road salt you are always changing lines .

I bought it on a whim. Unfortunetly the banjo stopper doesn't fit the most common banjo fitting I encounter (p/s pump on toyotas) but the hard line end stoppers work great on brake lines. I have had some trouble getting coolant lines to clamp totally closed with the big clamp which I'm not too impressed with though.

I bought the large one hoping to use it to clamp air lines to test brake cans on semi trailers but it doesn't have enough pressure to pinch it closed against the air pressure

Aslong as they work good for 1/4" brake lines I will be super happy on that.

Not to put a damper on your purchase but those steel line stoppers have been out for years. You're just paying for the most recent Snap-On flavor.

Hahaha! $35-$63 for the exact same thing!

I don't see how the cornwell $50 or the matco $63 are even a remotely better deal. You get two hose clamp pliers with the Snap on plus it's on special this month for $89. If all you wanted were the line stoppers yes the oem is a decent deal.

Two posts in this thread just said the hose crimp pliers don't work well.
