i dont think they are, they dont have any means of tightening or vise versa.Its just a piece of metal tht wraps round itself tht u have to bend to get the pipe loose...then off course...when its bent...it cannot be used again

yes, fcuking cunts to get off! Everytime i tried too bend it unsuccessfully with a flat head the clip would just turn and turn Ive completely shagged a couple of them, would i get away with using jubilee clips instead? If not, are these spring clips commercially available?
