Use this pincer to achieve uniform compression around the clamp ear and create leak-resistant seals on hoses, fuel lines, cooling systems and general maintenance applications. For best results, follow Oetiker guidance when sizing clamps (compress the ear to the recommended reduction) and inspect the tool regularly for wear. Store dry and apply light lubrication to pivot joints occasionally to maintain smooth operation.
