Description
These Oetiker Hand Installation Pincers (HIP) have been designed especially for automotive service and repair, for closing Oetiker low profile clamps quickly and easily.

They are designed to produce the highest possible radial loads and uniformity around the circumference of the application, for the best hand installed clamp sealing performance.

Wide bi-material grips distribute hand pressure and lessen the risk of repetitive motion injury. Conventional straight handles line up easily with the clamp and application configuration. Curved handles are more ergonomic, fit the palm better and are advantageous for smaller hands.

Compound action pincers are specially designed for professional use where higher volumes of clamps are closed. The higher mechanical advantage allows the installer to apply lower hand forces, providing comfort and reduced fatigue and risk of strain injury.
