I'm looking for hose clamp pliers for automotive work. What should I consider?

For automotive applications, consider the type of hose clamps you'll be working with most often.

Different hose clamp pliers are designed for specific clamp types. Some are designed for spring band clamps, others for wire hose clamps, and some are universal. Cable-operated pliers allow for remote operation, while others have direct-action jaws. Consider the types of clamps you encounter most often when selecting your pliers.
