Re: [Chrysler300] Corbin Clamp Pliers

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Most any Auto Parts store should have them, Craftsman makes them also.
You can make them at home. Take an old pair of pliers (you gotta have 5-6  laying around) and cut a notch in the center of each jaw, from front towards the hinge. This will hold the two ends together as you slide the ring off. Or use an old pair of vice grips and then they stay clamped (mostly)
In any case, always lay a shop rag over the clamp while removing it, in case it flies loose, this will keep it from hitting you in the face. They have a way of escaping the pliers....

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best acting, most versatile, easiest to use pliers available for Corbin style clamps. These are the spring ring type. Also a good source to buy it would be helpful.

Thanks all.
