What about the "ear"?

The clamp pliers have an ear stop that keeps the top of it flat. Otherwise it bulges out into a hoop. When the $10 clamp pliers I bought for the job broke (on the 2nd of 4 clamps!), I did use two gear clamps for the outer bands on both the inner & outer boots. The problem was that the outer clamp's screw assembly stuck up too far & whacked the bracket for the brake line. I guess I'm concerned that tile nips or diagonals would allow the ear to hoop up high enough to also whack that bracket.
I have to do this job (inner & outer boots) at least two more times, so I don't mind spending $25 for a decent tool. I'd just hate to get a more expensive tool & have it break also.
