A tool is disclosed for use in installing and removing a resilient ring clamp having overlapping ends, each end having a radially extending lug thereon. The tool squeezes the lugs of the clamp to increase the circumference of the clamp so that the clamp can be slipped over a hose. A frictional drive assembly moves a shoe rod outwardly from a housing such that a shoe on the distal end of the shoe rod moves toward a hook on the distal end of a hook rod extending from the housing, thus squeezing the lugs of the clamp between the shoe and the hook. The hook rod can be selectively positioned around the shoe rod so that the hook and shoe can be oriented in a selected direction without axially rotating the housing.
