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

They worked more or less well with a large snap ring clamp like 2.2". I thought the OTC was OWATONNA Tool Co. like in US, but they are labeled TAIWAN. Like many marine tools, they look the same but perform poorly due to poor workmanship and a lack of attention to detail. Metal bends under stress. This caused the 3/8 ID spring ring clip to repeatedly fly out. The ratchet teeth are so large that they are practically unusable. On the small clamp mentioned, the last position would not lock because the handles of the tools were closed before the ratchet would lock because the tool was bent too much. the smallest clamp ever [almost]. It was a cut above regular pliers but nowhere near 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.
