Only The very highest quality is used in the manufacture of Oetiker clamps. The standard material used is stainless steel. The chromium-nickel content of the stainless steel gives excellent anti corrosion resistance when exposed to a variety of aggressive environmental influences, both atmospheric and aqueous. the specific mechanical and physical characteristics of these materials guarantee high strength and excellent stability.
Particularly suited to retain the modern rigid plastic driveshaft gaiters which require durable clamps and need to be tightened with greater pressure.

Ideally, the correct tool should be used to close the clamping ear, however careful use of a pair of pincers will suffice.

According to Oetiker."The closing force must be chosen to give the required material compression or surface pressure and should be qualified by dimensional evaluation and experiment. The resistance against the the clamp equals the applied force.." So, in other words, if it feels dead tight it probably is.
