Great Oetiker tool. Way better then the cheap knock offs. I would buy again for this application.

these work good, they open enough to do a large CV joint boot clamp so money well spent.

If you need to install Oetiker clamps by the bagful, on a daily basis, THIS tool will save your hands.The compound action is a force multiplier, and allows a reduced squeeze to properly close your clamps. The large, plastic handles on the pliers helps improve your grip, and will reduce fatigue in your hands, even after repetitive clamp installations.As much as I appreciate the quality of other brands of Oetiker style clamp pliers (I’m looking at you, Knipex), you can’t beat using genuine OEM tools.For a dependable seal, professionals rely on Oetiker clamps. Engineers spec them as the proper clamps for a multitude of applications. If you’re going to be using this style of clamp, invest in the proper tool, and save your hands (while avoiding carpal tunnel syndrome)!

ITRIED TO USE IT ON SFPEX CLAMPS FOR RADIANT HEAT TUBES IN OUR FLOOR. I JUST COULDN'T BEGIN THE GRIMP EVEN WITH BOTH HANDS AND PUSHING IT AGAINST THE FLOOR. I'M SURE IT WILL WORK WELL ON REGULAR OTIKER CLAMPS BUT NOT THE SFPEX CLAMPS. I WILL BE KEEPING THE TOOL. IT APPEARS TO BE WELL MADE.

There are many bargain tools out there to crimp ear type clamps, but I went with the original Oeticker tool. It's the only compound version I've seen, and it was definitely easy to use. It's a little pricey, but I did not want to risk a cheap tool breaking in the middle of a CV rebuild and be stuck. It opens pretty wide so I imagine it will work on any size Oeticker type clamp. It was only about half-way open to crimp the ear size on a 4" clamp.

The double hinge on this tool makes for easier use. I used on turbo charge pipes and it worked great. Looks just like a factory BMW clamp assembly.

My business is lawn irrigation, so I use these each and every day. All in all a good tool. Even on the smaller clamps like 3/4 and 1 inch I can get them just a little tighter than the plain red-handle crimpers I have been using since 1982. Only one issue: There are tiny spring clamps that hold in the three pins that hold this tool together. They disappeared the first week of use. Now the pins are loose and I have to be careful not to lose them. Not a big issue if you only use them occasionally. Have to check to see if Oetiker has replacement spring clips.

This Oetiker ear clamp is of good construction and feels good during usage. I went with this brand since the same company invented the ear clamp to begin with. In retrospect ,the price was a bit high when compared to other manufacturers.
