Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What size of clamps can be installed using Oetiker 14100069-GRA ratchet pincer?

A. Oetiker 14100069-GRA ratchet pincer can be used to install / remove 1, 3/4, 5/8, 1/2 and 3/8 inch sized clamps.

Q. What are the points to consider before operating an Oetiker 14100069-GRA ratchet pincer?

A. Oetiker 14100069-GRA ratchet pincer's jaw force depends on factors such as applied hand force, jaw gap, local worker safety limits and specific material / application properties. Users should periodically lubricate, readjust & recalibrate this ratchet pincer for proper operation & user safety.

Q. Can Oetiker clamps be reused after removal?

A. Ear clamps can not be reused once they have been cut & removed as their 'ear' gets damaged. However, selected Oetiker clamps like low profile, universal & screw clamps can be reused after removal from hoses.

Q.What is the difference between ratchet pinchers and jaw pincers?

A. Ratchet pinchers generally provide a definite clamping force with an adjustable jaw width for consistent clamping results on similar sized ear clamps. On the other hand, Oetiker jaw pincers do not provide a fixed closing force every time due to its inherent applied force variability. However, selected jaw pincers may be the right fit for applications having limited operating space.
