What do you call the tool that puts these on. I need to securely attach a hose to my water pump connector for my caravan. I've tried plastic ties but don't think they're up too much.

No, they're jubilee clips. I want the tool that puts the bands on.

Those types are hose crimp clips see as an example https://www.socal.co.uk/p/HCC8/off-the- ... -clip-80mm You use a type of pincer to pinch them up. I would have thought a Jubilee Clip would be cheaper than buying the tool.

I've used what I always believed to be 'nail puller' pliers - look exactly like the stuff S-E linked to.

Nail pliers (tower pincers ??) do the job, I have done the crimps on my airlines and had 120 psi in the lines no issues

At Machine Mart. We get asked for 'ear clips' at least one a week. we don't sell them. As has been said before, a pair of nail puller type pliers will do the job.
