Problems with Oeticker clamps

Recommended Posts

So, description:
I did buy 1ear and 2 ear oeticker clamp, and side jaws.

The problem with 1-ear clamp for reserve: I put the clamp on type 4 9\16" tape. When I'm trying to press it, I've can squize it so much that I actually damafe the tape, but even after that ripcord housing can be moved out from clamp. I have to set heat-tybe over housing to fix housing from moving out of clamp.

The problem with 2-ear clamp for cutaway: it made from alum, so, when I press jaws to set it, I can easelly broke clamp in between housings.

How much force should be applyed on jaws?
Which jaws should I use (there are 2 on device - one that closes totally, and one thet has some space between jaws?)
How to fix reserve housing from moving?

Thanks...
Sorry for bad English

No one uses [Oetker] clamps???

Lots of factories now use Oetker clamps.

The problem is that Oetker clamps are so much more durable - than hand sewing - that few field riggers have any experience replacing them.

This is the one we used. Beware to not squeeze to much. We do not have any problem with this.

As I understend - for twin clamp you uses side jaws (one with space between jaws) - to dont damage clamp
and for I ear you uses top jaws (that closes complitely) - to fix housing - right?
