These Oetiker clamp pliers use a compound-action mechanism to reduce the hand effort needed to close an ear clamp. The side jaw gives access to beer and gas line connections where nearby hoses or fittings leave little room for a front-jaw tool.
Wide bi-material grips spread pressure across your hand. The straight handles suit left- or right-handed use and allow one-handed operation when installing or replacing lines in a draft beer system.

When Is a Side Jaw Useful?
Use the side jaw when a nearby hose, fitting or panel prevents you from reaching the clamp ear head-on. It lets you approach the ear from the side when installing or replacing beer and gas lines.
