NASA corbin pliers

I decided to get some corbin clamps for my heater hoses, so I had a good excuse to get some corbin pliers. I was looking for this style with the loop lock mechanism and ran across this on eBay. I kind of like it. Also got an old Blue Bird battery terminal spreader.

Just wait until the clamp pops out of those pliers! The thing will be in orbit instead of under something that you can't reach behind.

Re: NASA corbin pliers

I'm using the corbin clamp pliers that have a lock on the handle. Why, why the lock?

Re: NASA corbin pliers

I'll be the first forum member with a truck part in orbit! I guess I better wear face protection when using this thing.
I saw a youtube video of a guy installing some corbin clamps. Using the lock it was possible to get the clamp set up and ready to install, and could maneuver it into place with fingertips. Plus I just like the style of that loop lock mechanism.
