Review on Drake Off Road 4502 Hose Clamp Pliers Set - 2 Piece: Securely Handle Your Hose Clamps by Angel Cortez

They were working on a large snap ring clip, about 2.2 inches, more or less fine. I thought OTC is OWATONNA Tool Co. as in US, but they are labeled TAIWAN. .Like many naval instruments, they look the same but perform poorly due to poor craftsmanship and lack of attention to detail. Metal bends under stress. This caused the 3/8 inner diameter spring ring clamp to repeatedly fly out dangerously. The ratchet teeth are so big that they are almost unusable. On the small clamp mentioned, the final position would not lock because the handles of the tools came together before the ratchet had engaged. because the instrument was bent too much. on the smallest clamp ever [almost]. It was a cut above regular pliers but a far cry from a high end tool like Mac, Matco, Snap-on etc. Invest your money in a real tool or make do with what you already have.
