Testing Knipex 85 51 180A "Spring Hose Clamp Pliers" vs. ERP KP-2 Hose Clamp Pliers

After @Pioneer's recent post looking for recommendations for spring hose clamp pliers, I decided to try what, judging by the price ($67.99, delivered), I figured must be the Cadillac option; the Knipex 85 51 180A (smaller of 2 sizes, 10" big brother are Knipex 85 51 250 A, both of which Knipex describes as "Spring Hose Clamp Pliers") tl;dr - They're okay I guess, but I think they're intended for single-wire spring hose clamps, not the double wire type that we typically see in appliances.
