I've got a set of these in my Aviation toolbox. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I think we've all been there with that one screw or bolt that is a tiny fraction of an inch of clearance from being easy and thus becomes a huge nightmare. comes with the territory of working on trucks.

They are also great at pinching off rubber fuel line so it won't leak. I'm sure it would work with brake lines too. I wouldn’t recommend pinching rubber brake lines EVER with ANY kind of clamping too. In doing so, you are weakening/cracking the rubber, and increasing a chance for a rupture.

jdog Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The only time would be in a emergency and then I would replace the line after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yeah, I only do that when I'm swapping out the line and I want to keep it from leaking out while I'm dealing with old flare nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
