Description
The Micro Matic MP-039 is a professional-grade pincer tool specifically designed for the installation and removal of Oetiker® stepless ear clamps. This dual-function tool is an essential addition to any draft technician’s kit, featuring a primary front-crimping jaw and a specialized side-jaw pincer. The side-jaw design allows for easy access to clamps in tight, confined spaces—such as crowded walk-in coolers or the back of a draft tower—where a standard straight tool cannot reach. Constructed from high-strength forged steel with ergonomic non-slip grips, the MP-039 ensures a permanent, leak-proof seal on beverage and gas lines with a single, precise squeeze.

Technician’s Note: The MP-039 is the “Swiss Army Knife” of draft line maintenance. In 90% of installations, you’ll use the front jaws, but when you’re reaching behind a 12-tap manifold, that side jaw is a lifesaver. Unlike “worm gear” clamps that can strip or create uneven pressure, this tool creates a 360-degree permanent seal. Pro Tip: When removing a clamp, use the side cutters to bite into the “ear” of the clamp—it will snap off cleanly without you having to hack away at your expensive polyethylene tubing.
