It is highly recommended that the use of a CLIC style pliers (Miller tool #(special tool #10288, Pliers, Hose Clamp)) be used for proper installation and removal of the CLIC® clamps. The use of specific tools for the clamp, will allow it to be reused.

The use of non CLIC® style pliers (screwdrivers, vice grips, channel locks, etc.) may damage the clamp and the clamp must be replaced.
