Ii-spring clamps zihlala zenziwe nge-spring steel strip, zisikwe ngendlela yokuba elinye icala libe ne-protrusion encinci egxile esiphelweni, kwaye kwelinye icala libe ne-protrusions ezimbini ezincinci kumacala omabini. Iziphelo zezi protrusions emva koko zigotywa ngaphandle, kwaye i-strip igoqwe ukuze yenze i-ring, kunye nee-tabs eziphumayo zidibene.

Ukuze kusetyenziswe i-clamp, ii-tabs eziveziweyo zicinezelwa omnye komnye (ngokuqhelekileyo kusetyenziswa ii-pliers), kwandisa ububanzi beringi, kwaye i-clamp ityibilikiswa kwi-hose, idlule kwindawo eza kungena kwi-barb. I-hose emva koko ifakwe kwi-barb, i-clamp yandiswa kwakhona, ityibilikiswa kwinxalenye ye-hose phezu kwe-barb, emva koko ikhululwe, icinezele i-hose kwi-barb.

Iikliphu zolu hlobo azisetyenziswa rhoqo kwiingcinezelo eziphezulu okanye kwiipayipi ezinkulu, njengoko zingadinga ubungakanani obukhulu bentsimbi ukuze zivelise amandla aneleyo okubamba, kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuzisebenzisa usebenzisa izixhobo zesandla kuphela. Zisetyenziswa rhoqo kwiipayipi zenkqubo yokupholisa iimoto ezinobubanzi obuziisentimitha ezimbalwa, umzekelo kwiipayipi ezininzi zeVolkswagen ezipholiswe ngamanzi.

Ii-spring clamps zilungele ngokukodwa iindawo ezixineneyo okanye ezingaqhelekanga apho ezinye iintlobo ze-clip zingadinga izixhobo zokuqinisa ezisetyenziswa kwii-engile ezimxinwa kwaye mhlawumbi ezingafikelelekiyo. Oku kuzenze zathandwa kakhulu kwii-applications ezifana nee-injini zeemoto kunye nokukhusela uqhagamshelo lwe-barb kwi-PC-cooling-water.
