What happens here

The demonstrator shows how to use the Knipex spring clamp pliers to engage a spring-type cooling system clamp on a hose. The pliers are positioned around the clamp, and then the handles are squeezed together. The locking mechanism automatically engages with an audible 'click,' holding the clamp securely in an open position.

Goal: Open and lock a spring clamp using the pliers.
