Clamplite tool sounds like a good investment.  Not sure how onebcould use it inside the fuel tank.

It has it's uses but does require some room
2000 Monster 900Sie, a few changes
1992 900 SS, currently a pile of parts.  Now running
                    flogged successfully  NHMS  12 customized.  Twice.   T3 too.   Now retired.

Yeah on the metal efi tanks a squeeze or wormscrew clamo is probably your best bet....
Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Rather than get caught up derailing this thread I had only commented that the OE clamps could be reused with a bit of care.
Like others may have done I wasn't expecting to find these and did not want to leave my tank in bits for an hour while I went to find replacements, in any case your clamp tool seems excessively expensive when (if you know anout it beforehand) you can just buy a couple of these type of clamps for pennies.

Not everyone does it the way you did.

It is far easier to remove the entire pump/filter assembly and change out the filter on the bench. ;)

I thought about going that route, but with my luck......I would have done something very bad....
