alexey 6 #1 June 8, 2007 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 EnglishLexa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that Oetker clamps are so much more durable - than hand sewing - that few field riggers have any experience replacing them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?Lexa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
