What is StepLess Technology?
Oetiker invented the StepLess ear clamp in 1979. The ear clamp’s special design eliminates steps and/or overlaps on the inner circumference of the clamp for a 360° leak-free seal. Because the tongue resides in a groove, the “tongue-in-groove” feature exerts pressure on the assembled parts over 360°, enabling the clamp to apply a continuous radial force completely around the connection’s diameter.
Mechanical interlock
The interlock is a mechanical system for joining the clamp ends to permit closure. Some interlock designs can be opened for radial installation prior to closure.
Clamp diameter
The following applies as a guideline: To determine the correct clamp diameter, push the hose onto the attaching material, (e.g. the nipple), and then measure the outer diameter of the hose. The value of the outer diameter must be slightly above the average value of the diameter range of the clamp to be selected. The listed size of the clamp denotes the inner diameter (id) of the clamp.
How to Install
These clamps can be easily installed using Oetiker Hand Installation Pincers (HIP). The HIP tools have been designed especially for pinching ear clamps quickly and easily.

Oetiker HIP Single Action Standard Jaw Pincer, Item No. 14100396
How to Remove
Ear clamps can be easily removed using Oetiker’s hand clamp cutter (HCC). The HCC tool is designed to safely remove ear clamps.

Good basic tool. Clamps are quite size specific, assortment is basic. Watch a YouTube video if unfamiliar.

The pincer tool is of excellent quality. The fit and finish remind me of my Knipex brand tools. The assortment of clamps in this package are also great but were too small for my initial project. So, I came back to Amazon and purchased an additional Oetiker assortment clamp package that does not include the pincer tool: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXJN9ZI?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsThe clamp sizes in that assortment include clamps that are a little larger but have no duplicates that are in this assortment case. So now I'm all set and don't even have to worry about measuring correctly. Just use/check what I already got to see what fits best, and then clamp it down.Each clamp is stamped with the size so I can confidently reorder the exact size I need.The plastic cases are good, too. Not like the flimsy ones that break during shipping. I can actually use these cases. Very nice.Yes, I probably have some clamp sizes here that I’ll never use. But it’s just a few of each to get me started. What I’ve clamped thus far with this solution has been rock solid and looks very professional.

Since I was a kid I have always used screw clamps for hoses. I have always hated them. Screwdriver tends to slip out. Usually when its really cold. That way when you get all stabby the pain is much more severe...good times.Oh yeah, and you get to re-tighten every now and then for reasons. I don't know, i'm not an engineer.These guys are crazy easy and quick to clamp. Slip on the collar, squeeze and you are done. From what I understand, they never get loose.I own a business and time is money. And these really save time and effort. This kit may cost a bit, but i'm of the mindset "buy once cry once".My next purchase will probably be a set of "side clamp pliers".Anyway, I highly recommend this kit as it gives you an assortment of clamps and a set of good pliers. The assortment allowed me to figure what clamps I will need the most.

I was surprised, very high quality tool and useful selection of clamps for the price. Heck, I've seen just a tool of this quality sell for that price.

I got this set for working on my Audi and some other tasks around the house/garage like making custom hoses.The tool that comes with this set is a genuine Oetiker Standard Hand Pincer 14100082/1098l which works just fine. You can also use this tool to remove the clamps as well.The clamps also appear to genuine Oetiker ones and are stamped on the side with the size. Hint, Oetiker spec's all their clamps in metricIf you work at it you could probably buy the contents of this set individually for slightly less, but time is money so I suppose it all comes out in the wash.If your new to using these types of clamps it's important you know the outside diameter of the hose your going to clamp when it's in place. Knowing just the outside diameter of the hose is not enough as it will expand when you insert a fitting (barb) or force the hose onto piping.After making your measurement pick a clamp where your measurement falls about in between the min and max size for a given clamp. Too small and it won't fit or close, too big and it won't seal properly.A micrometer is the best tool for this which I have and didn't follow my own advice. Subsequently when the kit arrived, the largest size included, 5/8"(15.7 mm) would fit over my 3/8" ID hose but when I put the barb in I couldn't even slide the clamp into place, let alone close it.So my project was delayed while I ordered the correct size.I'm satisfied w/my purchase and have been looking to start a collection of these clamps. If you own a European Car it's a must.
