i would get the oettiker clamp pliers. they aren't very expensive at
your local auto parts store.
however, you can do the job with dull diagonal cutters. i have a pair
of cheap diagonal cutters with the cutting surfaces dulled by a file.
i use it to access oettiker clamps that can't be reached with the
oettiker clamp pliers i have (they require a lot of room in the plane
of the clamp).
