A spring clip (10) for use with a fitting tool or tools comprises a base (12) and a pair of opposing jaws (14,16) extending from the base (12). Each jaw (14,16) has an end (18,20) that is distal to the base (12), and the distal ends (18,20) of the jaws (14,16) are separated from one another so as to define an open mouth (22) of the spring clip (10). Each jaw (14,16) is provided with a tool locating formation (28) that is adapted to receive a portion of the tool operable to temporarily increase the separation distance of the jaws (14,16) for the purpose of fitting the clip (10).
