Oetiker 14100446 Side Jaw Pincers – 90° Ear Clamp Tool for Hose Fittings

The Oetiker 14100446 side-jaw pincers are built from high‑strength steel with a durable finish designed to withstand daily use in busy workshops and service bays. They are purposefully crafted for ear-type clamps that secure pneumatic or hydraulic hose fittings, and their 90‑degree working angle helps you reach around tight curves, hoses, and fittings. The plastic‑coated handles provide a safer, more comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended tasks and helping you maintain precise control near delicate connections.

In practical terms, this tool engages both sides of the ferrule and compresses the hose against the barbed portion of the fitting to support a secure, consistent connection. The side-jaw design minimizes crowding around the clamp, making it easier to position, clamp, and release without disturbing adjacent hoses or components.
