I have just managed to re-use a Fiat hose clip!! I know, I know, you probably don't believe me, but i swear on my coupe's good health that i managed it!
I'm so proud of myself, I feel like ringing my mum and explaining how i've grown up to be such a fine young man!!

Most of my Fiat hose clips looked like they could have come from Marc Bolan's Mini by the time I'd finished with them. How on earth did you manage it?

Use the right pliers to re-clip them. Me, they are binned when removed. Worm clips [jubelee] are used as they give a better even seal IMO. Easier to remove and refit too!

I didn't re-use it out of choice! I had already removed my airbox before realising i was out of jubilee clips!

LOL - that the kind thing I usually do when working on my car

If you have the right pliers, these are a doddle to remove and reuse. I never understand the fuss made, as I have never had a problem since investing in a set .

As above, have removed, abused & refitted, as long as you have the reight gear they are ok, but having been in the Aircraft industry for 20 yrs I replace if I remember, especially turbo hose's

As above, I find them MUCH better than jubliees. I use a screwdriver to pop them off, and a pair of bent nosed circlip pliers to put them back on. Jubilees can rust and its also easy to either not tighten them enough, or over tighten them, leading to problems.
