Oetiker Hand Clamp Cutters are designed to safely remove Oetiker Ear Clamps that can be closed with Oetiker HIP 2000 series Hand Installation Pincers or similar power tools. See applicable clamps section below for more details.
They are designed to deliver many cutting cycles without loss of performance, using the lowest practical cutting force. Constructed of solid metal for long tool life, with textured grips for a more secure hold.
FOR CLAMP REMOVAL ONLY. Orange grips distinguish Hand Clamp Cutters from the blue Hand Installation Pincers. High mechanical advantage makes clamp removal easier and reduces the risk of strain injury.
