theyre not, you cant use normal pliers, i tried  ::)

they pinch the clip in the right place and make it tight, you try and pinch em with normal pliers and its just dis shapes them

FORPY...i quite like that ;D any way sorry mate do you mean the little metal rings with tags on that you crush to make em grip your pipe(OOER) or something else? by the replies i thought it must be the metal rings but technically an "o"ring is a rubber washer with a circular cross section like what you have in the pre filter housings on your ro man :).......but i think you are talking about crimps and i use a pair of wire clippers but pincer pliers(aka blacksmith pliers) as posted by william x are probably better ;)what are you trying to connect?

You can use pliers for the mean time,you clamp the O ring using the part you would cut wires with.
