I was referring to the advertisement for the pliers that said they are torque wrench compatible. Sorry, getting distracted with the details. I've always just used angled cutters to pinch these clamps. As long as it isn't overtightened, the stupid boot is going to tear before the clamp ever wears through or starts leaking.
