jddevel Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Help please.Looking to buy the type of jubilee clips where the screw head instead of in line with the worm slots (the common type) are in fact at 90 degrees - if that makes sense. My mind tells me I`ve seen/used them in the past but can`t seem to locate a source. I need some to connect up some hoses to a skin fitting where inline access is not possible.

dor Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not seen a jubilee clip like that, but have seen ones with a SS band and a knob to tighten them. Try googling hose clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMEA Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Get yourself a double ended 7 & 8mm ratchet spanner, I often come across this issue on retro fitting and the type I assume you mean, (like opening a corned beef can in reverse) are useless, can't remember seeing any for years either. You can also use double or single ear hose clamps if there is room the get the application pliers in. Edited March 27, 2017 by NMEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddevel Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks NMEA bit of lateral thinking on your part. Actually have probably got one. My immediate thought was remembering the jubilee clip type that I`d used years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty40s Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Aldi currently have a mini ratchet set for less than a £10 er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddevel Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thank you Matty40s. Having been into classic cars for years I have a huge amount of tools. HOWEVER in my case the brain is now suffering from "what have I got and where is it and could I remember how to use it". Might be a good idea to buy the Aldi thing for the boat.

bizzard Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 A simple little set of BA combination spanners is very useful. 2BA, 4BA, 6BA and 8BA are the most used sizes. I think 6BA fits most Jubilee, Terry type clips. The ring end of the spanner will get in and do the job where most other fancy tools can't.

smileypete Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) The ratchet ring spanners can be handy where access is tight, some have swivel heads too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITOOL-EXPERT-E117378B-RATCHET-COMBINATION-SPANNER-7mm-/181712900520 These can be handy too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=flexible+jubilee+clip+driver Edited March 28, 2017 by smileypete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
