Well, it took me a minute to actually throw the prototype pliers in my toolbag and then remember to actually try them out, but I finally did...

Video linked below. tl;dw... Not bad! For larger size clamps, seem to be exactly as suitable as std KP-2s, and much better mechanical action

I'll have some more made soon, as soon as I troubleshoot the cutoff tool on my little shitty metal lathe. I think I'm going to sell a few to fellow techs for $50 plus shipping. I don't have a merchant site set up yet, but should soon. If you're down, you're on the list!

I think you should do a test on a Front load washer dispenser hose especially  tight area under the spring cross bar see pics I broke the nipple trying to get the clamp to move.

clamp is under the crossbar just above the tub obviously serious pain
