Picked up a set of the Snap-On shcp1 ratcheting cable style hose clamp pliers. I'm about 99% sure they are rebadged Mayhew but I can deal directly with my S/O dealer for warranty issues. Since he usually gives me a preferred customer discount they were cheaper as well $88 for Snap-On compared to $102 for the Mayhew.
 
I prefer the old school Mayhew 28650

The craftsman are very nice but not ratcheting. Neither is the 28650. 9 times out of ten the ratcheting mechanism is not necessary but in those extremely tight spots it sure is good to have.
 
The mayhew has a weak cable. I once had to buy a Mayhew repair kit from a tool truck. It works fine now, but I really bothers me that I had to repair a tool.
