OETIKER CLAMPS AND PLIERS
We are making greater use of Oetiker clamps in our cars. A new type of pliers has been introduced that makes it easier to install Oetiker clamps in different access positions.
Pliers, P/N 951 2619-9
Replaces the earlier type of pliers, P/N 981 4215.
The new pliers has sideways oriented jaws which makes it easier to install the clamps in hard-to-reach places.
It is important that the correct size of Oetiker clamp is used so that the appropriate clamping force is applied.
Clamp sizes are embossed on the clamps.
The picture shows:
A: a correctly installed clamp.
B: a clamp that has not been completely closed.
The Oetiker pliers can also be used to open clamps for removal.
Or a screwdriver can also be used to pry open Oetiker clamps.
