These are the "use once, cut off" type blue ones that you squeeze together
to tighten? In a pinch (ha ha) you can use a pair of end cutter pliers. For
preference, I'd pick up a set of (ear type) CV Boot Clamp Pliers. <

thingy in the middle that keeps the "loop" part of the clamp from bowing
upwards.
Available all over in all price/quality ranges, from Harbor Freight to
Snap-On.
