Talking Merit badge for themostat?
Feel like one of the elite now. Probably the hardest hose clamps I've ever had to remove.

Congratulations......



It's all about the tool for the job, would have been a breeze with locking round nosed hose clamp pliers.

A very wise investment of $24 for the set.
Saves time, aggravation, busted knuckles and lots of swearing...
