Sweet . That's the one.
they say 'hose' on one side...so one jaw is designed more to grab into
the metal tube you are pushing the hoseoff of.
( which I now see it says there )
Nice price too.

Pusher-on ..
you're not trying to push a dry rubber hose onto anything I hope.
Always some lube .
I use WD-40 constantly for that sort of thing ..
and recently got some 'Sil-Glyde' lubricating compounds  ..for 'brake
parts, trunk seals, weather stripping' ..
I use it on rubber hoses sometimes too.  WD-40 though ..a wonderful
universal lubricant ..
not to replace grease or oil ..
but to make things move nicely, or slide, or to displace water.
If I had to name just two products to work on cars with , it would be
one of them.
How theworld worked before WD I just can't imagine.
Goose grease maybe.

working on vehicles is so fun and rewarding.
