Key Features
Three Useful Hook Shapes The set gives you three different hose remover profiles, so you can get under stuck hoses without forcing the wrong shape into a tight spot. That means less fighting, better control, and less chance of damaging the hose or fitting. Short and Long Reach Two 3.5 inch hooks handle close-quarters work, while the 5.1 inch tool reaches deeper connections without having to tear half the engine bay apart first. That range matters when access is the whole job. Megadora Grip Control Each Vessel 970HR3PB MEGADORA Hose Remover 3-Piece Set tool uses a bi-material handle for a secure, non-slip hold during twisting and pulling. That helps when old radiator and vacuum hoses are baked on and do not want to move.
Overview
The Vessel 970HR3PB MEGADORA Hose Remover 3-Piece Set is a three-piece hand tool set built for removing flexible hoses from fittings in tight mechanical spaces. This is a hose remover set designed for automotive hose service and mechanical maintenance. Model Number 970HR3PB. If you work on radiator hoses, heater hoses, or vacuum lines, this set gives you purpose-shaped hooks that let you break hoses free with more control than using a pick, pry tool, or improvised screwdriver.
What makes this set useful is the mix of hook shapes and lengths. You get two short 3.5 inch, 89 millimeter tools for close work and one longer 5.1 inch, 130 millimeter tool for reaching deeper hose connections. In real use, that means you can work around clamps, fittings, and nearby engine components without constantly changing your angle or pulling parts out of the way just to get started. The different tip profiles also matter because not every hose connection gives you the same entry point.
Vessel builds these with chrome-plated steel hooks and the companys Megadora bi-material handle. That combination is not there for looks. The plated steel helps the tools resist corrosion and clean up after exposure to coolant, grease, and oil, while the handle gives you a firm grip when the job turns into a twist-and-pull fight. On stubborn hoses, grip security is a big deal because the tool only works if you can keep steady pressure without slipping off the fitting.
The overall design is jobsite practical. These are compact hand tools made for dense engine bays and tight mechanical assemblies where there is no room for bulky pry bars or pliers. The short hooks are especially useful when you are working near a radiator neck, thermostat housing, or small hose junction where clearance is limited. The longer hook earns its keep when the connection sits farther back and a short tool would force your hand into an awkward position.
The Vessel 970HR3PB MEGADORA Hose Remover 3-Piece Set is also a better choice than improvising with general-purpose hooks because the curves are made specifically for hose removal. The goal is to get under the hose bead or along the clamp area, lift the hose gently, and work it free without gouging the fitting or tearing the hose material. That is the difference between getting the hose off cleanly and creating a new problem while trying to fix the first one.
This set is made in Japan and aimed squarely at automotive technicians, mechanics, and serious DIY users who do their own cooling system or vacuum line service. If you regularly work in engine bays, service fluid hose assemblies, or need a compact mechanical service tool set that saves time on stuck hose jobs, this is the kind of kit that earns drawer space fast. It is not a general screwdriver set. It is a dedicated hose removal solution for people who know exactly how annoying old hoses can be.
Works Where Clearance Is Tight
Stuck hoses usually fail because access is bad before the hose even starts fighting back. This set is built for that reality, letting you work between clamps, covers, and nearby components without resorting to a larger pry tool.

Pro Tip
Start with one of the short hooks to break the hose loose near the clamp area, then switch to the long 5.1 inch tool if the connection sits farther back. Using the right reach first usually saves the hose and keeps you from levering against the fitting harder than you need to.
