Subject:Rad R&R -- tools?

David Beierl wrote to me and strongly suggested that I get the right
tool to wrangle the hose clamps.

Alastair's how-to at
<https://shufti.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/vanagon-radiator-replacement/>
says "[...] clamp off coolant lines [...]"

So, since I'm making a trip to my FLAPS for tools anyway, I might as
well pick up some proper clamps.

My question: What kind of clamps do I need to clamp off the coolant
lines before I drop the old (and sadly leaking) radiator?
